Series 1<br />
The Land Rover was <strong>co</strong>nceived by the Rover Company in 1947 during the aftermath of World War II. Rover’s chief<br />
designer, Maurice Wilks came up with a plan to produce a light agricultural and utility vehicle, of a similar <strong>co</strong>ncept<br />
to the Willys Jeep used in the war, but with an emphasis on agricultural use. The first prototype had a distinctive<br />
feature, the steering wheel was mounted in the middle of the vehicle. It became known as the “centre steer”. The<br />
bodywork was handmade out of an aluminium/magnesium alloy called Birmabright, to save on steel, which was<br />
closely rationed. Paint was also in short supply, resulting in the first production vehicles making use of army surplus<br />
green paint. Tests showed this prototype vehicle to be a capable and versatile machine. The steering wheel was<br />
then mounted off to the side as normal, the bodywork was simplified to reduce production time and <strong>co</strong>sts and a<br />
larger engine was fitted. The Land Rover was designed to only be in production for 2-3 years to gain some cash<br />
flow and export orders for the Rover Company so it <strong>co</strong>uld restart up-market car production. Once car production<br />
restarted, however, it was greatly outsold by the off-road Land Rover, which developed into its own brand that<br />
remains successful today.<br />
