The Land Rover is an intrinsically British vehicle; it has been manufactured since 1948, originally under the Rover group. Land Rover became its own company in 1978 although the designs and innovations of the company have remained the same over the years. Every Land River uses either a permanent four wheel drive system or a select-able two wheel drive system; they are rugged vehicles which are designed to go anywhere.

The company has changed hands several times over the years; their separate identity was a result of parent company, British Leyland’s financial troubles. They remained part of the Rover Group, under British Aerospace, until 1994 when BMW purchased the business. By 2000, the Land Rover name had been sold from BMW to Ford. Finally, in 2008, Ford sold both the Land Rover business and the Rover name to TATA; an Indian car manufacturer. They continue to use Ford engines.

Despite their difficult history, Land Rover has become a worldwide brand, known for the quality, reliability and capability of their vehicles. The range is now impressive; you can choose from the Defender, Discovery and Freelander if you are after a conventional vehicle, capable of carrying big loads anywhere. If you are after something a little more impressive the group also produce the Range Rover, including the Sport and Evoque models. These are not vehicles you would expect to see carrying anything heavier than ski gear; although they are just as capable as the other Land Rover offerings.

Land Rover has become a well known name around the world and a popular vehicle choice; even if just for those doing the school run. There are dealers all around the world which can locate a good pre-owned vehicle or even a new vehicle; however, if you wish to purchase a new Land Rover you will need to go to an approved Land Rover dealer.
