On April 30 2014, the Land Rover celebrated another year of success since it first made its debut in 1948. That’s right. It was on April 30, 1948 when the first Land Rover was introduced to the United Kingdom at the Amsterdam Motor Show. 66 years later, it is still one of the best car brands on the market.
Resources were limited at the time so the first Land Rover was made out of aluminum, not the usual steel. The designers borrowed some sage green paint from a fighter plane factory nearby and the iconic color was born. In 1950, they were utilized as converted cars for Queen Elizabeth II’s first world tour. In 1982, they were used for Pope John Paul II’s tour of England. You can see the iconic SUV featured in many popular television programs and movie films as their distinct style makes them stand out.
Since the first one rolled off the assembly line, the Land Rover was designed to be a multi-purpose vehicle with the ability to go where others couldn’t. Thus it has earned a reputation for being the vehicle of choice for adventure expeditions and explorations. It was meant to go up steep inclined mountains and deep valleys without a problem. Thanks to waterproof wiring, it can even hold up when things get wet.
Land Rovers have been used for all kinds of events and activities. They have been used as rail vehicles, specialist safari cars, military transportation and emergency vehicles. They are high in demand. In the 1960s, a new and more improved version of the Land Rover was being created. In June of 1970, the Range Rover was unveiled. It has the comfort of 4×4 ability. In 1980, the Camel Trophy Off-road competition launched. It used to have Jeeps competing, but they were quickly replaced by the British version.

If you like adventure, then you’ll like this SUV for sure. Even till this day, the advertising continues to show that unique aspect in their commercials.
