Land Rover

Heritage

The original Land Rover was inspired by the Willys Jeep that British farmers used after WWII. Rover engineers created something even more capable — a vehicle that could cross continents, ford rivers, and climb mountains. The Defender became the choice of militaries, aid workers, and African safari operators. It also became a status symbol for people who'd never leave pavement. Both uses are valid. The Defender's rugged simplicity created a cult that the new aluminum-bodied version is still trying to satisfy.
