After 70 years of production, we pay tribute to the Wilks brothers and the original Land Rover with World Land Rover Day
No matter what happens in the future with the brand, today is a day when we should spare a thought for the great vehicles that series and Defender Land Rovers are.  For those who like Welsh Mountains and narrow boats have a look at my videos and photos at..

It's seventy years to the day that the Land Rover was launched in Amsterdam. The sketch in the sand was done in 1947. Darren

Ha, ha, that's very true! The new ones are orders of magnitude more complicated, though, as are the regulations that they have to comply with. Darren

Happy Birthday Land Rover!
Had me thinking about the fact and dropping in on D2N a couple of times already today. wondering if we will some glimse of the new one tonight. Two iconic brands celebrate their 70th birthdays this year. The other being Porsche, whose birth date is considered to be 8th June 1948. However, back to 30th April, and Land Rover. It would be great to see something of significance this evening. 1998 Tdi 90 SW,
2008 Td4 90 SW, 2012 2.2 90 SW, 2" raised Trailmaster/Terrafirma Heavy Track Raids, 255 MTīs, Recaro CSīs, anorak, wellingtons |
