HISTORY -The Land Rover an iconic British Brand (Although it is now owned by Tata) only surpassed in fame by Rolls Royce. Originally conceived in the Second World War it was officially launched to the general public at the Amsterdam Motor Show in 1948 priced at £450. In the following year the British Army took delivery of their first batch of vehicles that was to become their main all terrain light transport for years to come. This model is the Series 3 which was produced from 1971 to 1985, had a 2.2 petrol engine that produced 73bhp. The mechanicals were very similar to the Series 2a but can be identified by now having lights in the wings with a redesigned radiator grill. The Land Rover has evolved over the years with many variants and was renamed the Defender in 1990
