The "Land Rover" was certainly one of the best known symbols of "made in
England" on 4 wheels and is in fact a milestone in the history of
off-road vehicles. It was born immediately after the war, with the first
prototypes made in 1947, to satisfy both civil and military tasks.
Inspired, even if not directly, by the American Jeep, it was
characterized by 4x4 all-wheel drive and a sturdy and reliable structure
capable of tackling the most difficult and demanding routes. The
aluminum body made it lighter but, at the same time, more resistant to
corrosion and a long service life. In 1971, when the Series III was
introduced, more than a million units had already been produced and
built for both civil and military use, both in the 88-inch "standard
wheelbase" version or in the 109 "long wheel base" version inches, the
latter reproduced in the kit.
