famous symbols of "Made in England" on four wheels and is a real
milestone in the history of the off-road vehicles. Born after the war, with the
first prototypes done in 1947, to meet both civilian and military tasks.
Inspired, by the American Jeep, was characterized by a 4x4-wheel drive and a
strong and reliable frame to tackle, with success, the most difficult and
demanding trails. The 109 inches "long wheelbase” version has been used by
British Special Air Service starting from the second half of ‘70s. During the
operations in a desert environment the Land Rover took the typical “pink
panther” camouflage color. That is the reason why of nickname “Pinkie” assigned
by S.A.S. members to it.
