Employees and their families line up to enjoy a drive experience at Solihull to celebrate Land Rover’s 1st Anniversary in 1949

Land Rover launched on April 30, 1948. Here’s a look back at some of the company’s best vehicles and a tour of its storied history.

Happy Birthday, Land Rover! Founded on this day 72 years ago, our good friends over at Land Rover just sent us these amazing images from the company’s history to celebrate World Land Rover Day. From a glimpse of the original production line and Land Rover’s first anniversary (above) to the return of the 2020 Land Rover Defender, it’s great to see these rugged vehicles captured in their natural environments.
