Inspired by the Jeep used by American GIs in World War Two, the Land Rover Series I was built to be a workhorse utility vehicle that would help post-war Britain get back onto its feet.
Who would have thought this car with humble origins would go on to become such an icon? Part of the car’s big success is how well-built the original models were.
For enthusiasts who like restoring classics, the Series I is a popular choice. But it’s not just a workhorse, and its rather back-to-basics looks have made the car a constant feature on the country roads of the UK.
When you see how the modern Land Rovers and Range Rovers have turned to luxury, seeing the classic original on the road fills you with a bit of patriotic pride that a symbol of the old Britain post-war spirit is still going strong.
