Description
The Land Rover Story by Giles Chapman tells the story of how a simple four-wheel drive vehicle born out of post-war austerity became a global byword for toughness and rugged style. Launched in 1948, the Land Rover was created from leftover parts left over from World War II, with the intention of keeping the factory running while also catering to farmers' needs. As Giles Chapman chronicles, the Land Rover's unstoppable off-road capability soon made it a world-beating product, and its legend allowed the marque to expand its range with models like the Range Rover, Discovery, Freelander, and the latest Range Rover Evoque. Today, Land Rover continues to lead a renaissance in British design and manufacturing, while still maintaining its iconic Defender model. This book provides an authentic look at the development of the Land Rover brand, from its humble beginnings to its current status as a global automotive leader.
