The first Land Rover was introduced in 1948 and the body panels were aliuminium because steel was hard to find just after the war. Land Rover Defender and Range Rover are still made from aluminium.

The LR factory in Solihull is the original factory.

A few years ago LR were advertising that 72% of all land rovers were still on the road. Trading Standards stopped them from using this advert because many land rovers had been rebuilt.
