Land Rover Car Insurance

The Land Rover was first designed in 1948 by Maurice Wilks, the chief designer for Rover. He based it roughly on the WWII American Willy's Jeep. The Land rovers early models were all painted in green army surplus paint and due to a shortage of steel in post war Britain was build of an alloy of magnesium and aluminium which was readily available from from postwar stocks used for aircraft production. This alloy had the advantage that it did not rust.

The Land Rover is a variety of different guides was the only model of Land Rover until the more upmarket Range Rover was introduced in 1970. Since then a couple of new models, the Discovery (or Disco as it is know affectionately ) and the Freelander were introduced in 1989 and 1998 respectively.

Land Rover was bought most recently by Ford when BWM broke up Rover in 2000 and luckily to date has not suffered the same fate as Rover. Rover has been bought by Ford, not with a view of restarting production, but more to protect the Land Rover name.
