The Land Rover brand is focused on producing capable 4x4 offroad vehicles. Land Rover is really a British icon almost at the same level as the British Empire.

Land Rover started life in Iceland as a farmers help. It had lots of seats and space in the rear that could be used for hauling sheep.

Lately modifications have been popular and are relatively easy to perform.
