    FIND A DEALERSHIP OVERVIEW SUMMARY DEFENDER CELEBRATION SERIES FIND A DEALERSHIP OVERVIEW SUMMARY LAND ROVER DEFENDER CELEBRATION SERIES For some 67 years, The Land Rover – rechristened Defender in 1990 – has crisscrossed the globe like no other vehicle. It has traversed terrains others simply could only dream of. It has forged lasting partnerships with such organisations as the Red Cross and Royal Geographical Society and has proved itself against all-comers on such gruelling challenges as the Dakar Rally. Now this iconic part of our history is set to continue with three Limited Edition vehicles being produced to celebrate its life. FIND A DEALERSHIP OVERVIEW SUMMARY Land Rover Defender’s boundless capability has taken it to all four corners of the earth. For instance, back in 1955, it was the first vehicle in the world to go overland from London to Singapore. It has worked in territories as diverse as Africa and Alaska. It has proved to be the most robust and unrelenting workhorse on farms, in jungles and deserts, delivered time after time in such industries as mining and engineering. Its heritage is without question. Its legacy, without equal. Top left and right: © British Motor Industry Heritage Trust. Bottom left: © Nick Dimbleby Photographer.

  • 1992 Daimler DS420 Limousine the Last DS420 and the Last Car with an XK Engine
    1992 Daimler DS420 Limousine The last DS420 and the last car with an XK engine The long line of Daimler limousines finally came to an end in 1992 with this car, the last example of the DS420 range. It was also the last car to use the 44-year old Jaguar XK engine design When Jaguar merged with the British Motor Corporation in 1966, both companies manufactured limousine models, the ageing Daimler Majestic Major and Vanden Plas Princess 4 litre. It was decided to replace both of these older models with a single new limousine, which would bear the Daimler name and would be based on Jaguar components, but which would be assembled in the Vanden Plas factory at Kingsbury in London. The result was the DS420 which was launched in 1968 and co-incidentally became the first new model of the newly-merged British Leyland company. It was based on an extended floorpan from the Jaguar 420G, which made the DS420 the biggest ever British car with unitary body construction. The engine was the well-known Jaguar XK in 4.2 litre form, with an automatic gearbox as standard. The semi- razor edge style of the body was probably inspired by some of the classic Hooper bodies on Daimler chassis The basic bodyshell was supplied by Motor Panels in Coventry and mechanical components were fitted by Jaguar at Browns Lane, before the limousines were sent to Vanden Plas for final assembly and trim. When the Vanden Plas factory closed in 1979, final assembly and trim moved back to a special Limousine Shop in the Jaguar factory at Browns Lane The DS420 enjoyed a near monopoly of its market, and many were also supplied in chassis form for hearse bodywork.

  • Life Begins After 30 the Range Rover Classic
    Life Begins After 30 The Range Rover Classic By Jeffrey B. Aronson Age slips up to most of us, and the next thing you know, you’re a “classic.” It may be hard to believe, but the Range Rover has now delighted automotive enthusiasts since its unveiling 31 years ago. When Land Rover afficionados discuss “old Land Rovers,” they must now include Range Rovers, too. The Range Rover has been with us in much the same manner for three decades; even the “new” model in 1994 retained many of the engineering cues of the original. The original Range Rover, dubbed the “Classic,” took the Land Rover concept of “crossover vehicle” and made it more sophisticated. Whereas the Land Rover made itself into a station wagon by adding more seats to a utility vehicle, it First didn’t fool passengers one bit. The Range Rover Impressions combined luxury, performance, station wagon utility, and of course, off road capability, in a car that asked little compromise from its owners. Look at a photo of the Range Rover, the two- American 4 x 4’s included International Bruce McWilliams, reported he was white-knuckled door of its first decade.
