History

Land Rover was founded by Maurice Wilks, who worked for Rover in 1947. The first prototype, known as "Centre Steer" was originally intended as agricultural vehicle that is capable of doing tractor tasks like cultivating crops thanks to its power take-off abilities. Later on, it evolved into a full-fledged off-roader that is famous for its excellent ruggedness and reliability. In late 1970s, it has its own luxury brand: the Range Rover, which serves as a competition to American luxury SUVs.
