Designed as a utilitarian vehicle for farmers, the Land Rover has become an automotive legend the best 4x4 x far. Infinitely flexible, they have appeared in short, medium and long wheelbase variants, with a host of body styles and conversions for everything from sixwheeled fire engines to motor homes. It is more than sixty years since the prototype was built in 1948 and the Land Rover of today still resembles the original although creature comforts may be more evident on the latest Defender models
