About the Real Vehicle

The Land Rover is celebrated worldwide as a preeminent British four-wheel drive off-roader. It is lauded for its robust body, exceptional off-road performance, and superior comfort. Its journey began with the British car manufacturer, Rover, established in 1901. Spurred by the success of small American four-wheel-drive vehicles during World War II, development of a four-wheel-drive vehicle commenced. This resulted in the unveiling of the Land Rover in 1948. The series progressed from Series I to Series III while maintaining its fundamental style until 1985, making it a symbol of British four-wheel drive vehicles. The Land Rover 88, with its 88-inch wheelbase, found use in both civilian and military capacities.
