Land Rover

Land Rover grew from a utilitarian postwar 4 wheel drive into a family of luxury and lifestyle vehicles without losing its association with off road ability. The British register spans early Series models, Defender, Discovery, Freelander and Range Rover generations, used by farms, emergency services, businesses and private owners alike. Few marques have covered such a wide gap between working vehicle and luxury car while retaining a recognisable identity.
