Custom Landy's

Land Rover invented the Monster Truck 30 years before anyone else.
In the 1950s, the British Forestry Commission demanded that someone create a road going vehicle that could tackle even the deepest mud puddles. Land Rover happily obliged, bolting on four tractor tires and some beefy axles from a Studebaker to a Series IIA, thereby giving birth to the first monster truck.

Range Rover won the first ever Dakar Rally, the legendary race from Paris to Dakar, Senegal.
It was an all French team, and they kind of ran away with it.

Did you know that land rover was born in a sketch made in the sand on a Welsh beach in 1947. By using a Jeep chassis and a Rover car engine. The use of simple body panels made from light alloy and a chassis fabricated from off-cuts avoid the use of rationed steel and the need for complex and expensive press tools
