Frequently Asked Questions about Classic Land Rover
The Land Rover was conceived in 1947 by Maurice Wilks, engineering director of Britain's Rover Company, together with his brother Spencer Wilks, Rover's managing director. Maurice had been running an ex-army Jeep on his farm on Anglesey, Wales, and Land Rover says he first sketched the new vehicle in the sand at Red Wharf Bay. Rover unveiled it at the Amsterdam Motor Show on April 30, 1948.
Classic Land Rovers have aluminum-alloy body panels because steel was in short supply in Britain when the vehicle was designed in 1947, so Rover used an alloy called Birmabright instead. The panels resist rot, but the structure underneath is steel. Hagerty's Series I buying guide singles out the chassis and bulkhead as the areas to watch, and a Hagerty feature on the Defender describes its ungalvanized steel chassis as prone to corrosion.
The Series names mark four generations of the original leaf-sprung Land Rover. The Series I was built from 1948 to 1958, the Series II from 1958 to 1961, the Series IIA from 1961 to 1971 and the Series III from 1971 to 1985. The Series II introduced wider bodywork and a 2.25-liter gasoline engine, late IIA models moved the headlights out to the fenders, and the Series III brought a plastic grille and synchromesh on all four forward gears.
Land Rover's own timeline dates the Defender name to 1990, though some histories tie it to the 1991 model year. The coil-sprung trucks had launched as the Land Rover One Ten in 1983 and the Ninety in 1984, the numbers standing for wheelbase in inches, although the Ninety's was actually 92.9. After the Discovery joined the range in 1989, the original model needed a name of its own, and the two became the Defender 110 and Defender 90.
Yes, but only for a few model years. Land Rover introduced the North American Specification Defender 110 for the 1993 model year, building just over 500 at Solihull, England. The shorter Defender 90 was then sold through the 1997 model year, at first with a 3.9-liter V8. Sales ended because federal rules for 1998 required dual front airbags and new side-impact protection. Factory imports of the earlier Series Land Rovers had stopped in 1974.
The Range Rover was launched in June 1970 as a separate model alongside the utility Land Rover. Engineered under Charles Spencer King, known as Spen King, it combined a Rover V8 with coil springs and permanent four-wheel drive, and it was built only as a two-door until a four-door joined the range in 1981. Official US sales did not begin until March 16, 1987.
Land Rover started as a product of the Rover Company, which became part of Leyland Motor Corporation in 1967 and of British Leyland in 1968. The group, later renamed Rover Group, was sold to British Aerospace in 1988 and to BMW in 1994. BMW sold Land Rover to Ford in 2000, and Tata Motors of India acquired the Jaguar and Land Rover businesses from Ford on June 2, 2008.
Classic Land Rovers were built at Solihull, near Birmingham, England, where the Series models and the Defender that followed them were made from 1948 to 2016. The one millionth Land Rover was built in 1976. Production of the original line ended on January 29, 2016, when the last Defender came off the Solihull line, reported as vehicle number 2,016,933.
The 28 Land Rover listings on Classic Cars Arena right now are priced from $12,495 to $194,900, with a median asking price of $48,248. These are the prices sellers are asking today, not sale prices, and the figures change as cars are listed and sold.

Classic Land Rover: The World's Most Capable Off-Road Vehicles
Land Rover, born in 1948 as a utilitarian farm vehicle inspired by the American Jeep, evolved into the world's premier manufacturer of luxury off-road vehicles. Classic Land Rovers are renowned for their go-anywhere capability and enduring construction.
Most Popular Classic Land Rover Models
The Series I, II, and III Land Rovers are the original utility vehicles that built the brand's reputation. The Defender (originally the "One Ten" and "Ninety") continued the utilitarian tradition. The Range Rover Classic (1970–1996) invented the luxury SUV segment, combining genuine off-road capability with refined on-road comfort. The Discovery offered a more affordable entry point to Land Rover ownership.
