Today, Land Rover dealership can be found in every major city, nd their cars found in the most remote locations. The British car manufacturer Rover Company already existed, n one form or another, or nearly 70 years before the Land Rover came along and redefined what it meant for a car to be useful. Maurice Wilks was the chief designer for Rover in 1947, is brother Spencer the managing director. The two were at the family farm in England, hen Maurice drew the first concept for a Land Rover with a stick in the sand. It's believed that the design is based off an old American military surplus Willys-Overland Jeep that was used on the farm. It worked, ut they needed a vehicle geared toward agricultural uses, ot war purposes, nd they needed for it to be more reliable. WIth that, he wheels of creation were set into motion. A year later, n 1948, over launched the Series 1 Land Rover, nd it was met with an overwhelming amount of success. In fact, heir success was so enormous, hat the Land Rover division broke from Rover, ecoming its own independent entity built around practicality.
