Celebrating Sixty Years of the Series Land Rover

The first pilot production Series I Land Rovers were displayed at the Amsterdam motor show in April 1948. The first Series I's were delivered a few months later with a launch price of £450. The Land Rover story does not just involve the legendary Series I, II and III vehicles of course. A selection of a few books outlining the whole product development story is listed below. Selecting any one will take you to the pages where a wider selection of books, videos and DVD's are described in more detail and they can all be purchased online.

Land Rover: The Incomparable 4x4 from Series 1 to Defender (Ludvigsen Library Series) The brainchild of Maurice Wilks of the Rover Motor Company as Britain's answer to the Jeep, the Series I Land-Rover made its first appearance in 1948. It was more versatile than the Jeep, making it an ideal farming and countryside vehicle. A wealth of different body styles and wheelbase lengths soon enriched the range of this popular off-roader, as did diesel and even V-8 engines. The Series 2 version was introduced in 1958 and the Series 3 in 1971. Special forward-control and military versions only increased the range of tasks this amazing vehicle could accomplish. Rare and original photos of this 4x4 over half a century, amplified by an introduction by ""Landie"" expert Paul Woods.
