The Land Rover came out in 1948, inspired by the American Jeep. From the outset, it exceeded all sales expectations. Initially targeted for use by farmers, Land Rovers quickly found numerous diverse alternative applications, including extensive use by the military, and recreational off-road use.
The Series I was replaced by the Series II in 1958 after 10 years production.
Old Land Rovers, especially early Series Is, now have an extensive and dedicated following.
Pictured is a typical example in what was army surplus Bronze Green.
