The Land Rover entered production in 1948 with the car officially launched at the Amsterdam Motor Show. It was originally designed for farm and light industrial use with initial production only planned for a couple of years. This is where the Best 4 x 4 by far started its life with the resulting design becoming an icon and launching the whole industry 4 x4 sector. The Series IIA is considered by many to be the most hardy model built. Produced between 1961 – 1971 the IIA offered both a petrol and diesel engine option.
