Over almost seventy years, the original Land Rover evolved from the ground-breaking Series I model in 1948 to the final Defender in 2016. Now there is a totally new Defender for the 2020s.

Land Rover charts the history of the authentic bloodline in this carefully compiled collection of striking and, in some instances, very rare photographs.

It presents the memorable mileposts – and bizarre diversions – in an astonishingly long life and is a rich visual tribute to the genius and guts of these legendary vehicles.
