Product Overview
Land Rover is an all-terrain vehicle and Multi Purpose Vehicle (MPV) manufacturer, based in Gaydon, Warwickshire, England. It has two production plants, one at Solihull, West Midlands which builds the Defender, Discovery, Range Rover and Range Rover Sport models and the second at Halewood, Merseyside which makes the Freelander 2 and also the Jaguar X type. Originally the term Land Rover referred to one specific vehicle, a pioneering civilian all-terrain utility vehicle launched on April 30, 1948, at the Amsterdam Motor Show, but was later used as a brand for several distinct models, all capable of four-wheel drive. Starting out as a model in the Rover Company's product range, the Land Rover brand developed, first as a marque, then as a separate company, developing a range of four-wheel drive capable vehicles under a succession of owners, including British Leyland, British Aerospace and BMW. In 2000, the company was sold by BMW to the Ford Motor Company, becoming part of their Premier Automotive Group. On 2008-03-26 Ford and Tata Motors announced an agreement that Ford would sell its Jaguar Land Rover operations to Tata. On 2008-06-02 the sale to Tata was completed by both parties. Land Rover is one of the longest lived sport utility vehicle (SUV) brands (the only brand which is older is Jeep). Land Rover English Chelsea Tractor SUV T-Shirt
