Le Land Rover de 1948, produit jusqu’en 2016, a peu évolué au fil des ans et c'est très bien comme cela ! Il est devenu Defender en 1980 en gagnant une petite dose de modernité, guère plus. Il est ici décliné dans sa version extra-longue 130, en pick-up simple cabine préparé en VSAB équipé par Sanicar. La boîte comprend une planche de décalcomanies.

The Land Rover was released in 1948 with an 80-inch chassis, increased to 86 in 1954, then 88 inches in 1957. It was renamed Defender in 1990 and its production was discontinued in 2016. Here we have an 80-inch Series 1 with headlights protruding through the grille (they were initially behind the grille) and exterior door handles, which appeared in 1952.

Manufactured from 1948, the Land Rover was immediately used by the British army because it was compact, robust and had huge off-road capacities. The body of this lightweight "Air-Portable" version is redesigned, particularly the fenders, the bonnet and the wheel arches. This model wears the colours of the United Nations,

James A. Cuthbertson LTD was established in 1936 and still exists today, designing and manufacturing winter maintenance equipment. In 1958, this Scottish company transformed a series of around 20 Land Rover Series 2 (an updated 1948 Land Rover) into half-tracks. Mounted on a subframe, these Land Rovers were still capable of reaching the speed of 20 miles per hour (32 km/h).

In 1989, Land Rover launched a model that kind of made the link between the rustic Land Rover, which would soon become the Defender, and the high-end Range Rover, released in 1970. Considered as a mini-Range, this first-gen Discovery was cheaper and more modern. This model was launched with 3 doors, but a 5-door variant followed in 1990, as well as a facelift, for 1994, reproduced here.

The Land Rover was released in 1948 and renamed Defender in 1990. Here we have the Series IIA, launched in 1961, which succeeded the 1958 Series II with a few updates. Greenlight reproduces here the hard top station wagon variant of the short wheelbase “SWB” (88 inches) Land Rover, which can be seen in “Ace Ventura”, a film released in 1994, with Jim Carrey in the leading role.

Land Rover launched this successful model in 2010 and renewed it in 2018. The first generation was in 3-door, 5-door. The convertible, the final evolution of a concept car revealed in 2012, was released in 2016. This variant is rare within SUVs: Nissan had unsuccessfully tested it a few years earlier with the Murano in the US and Volkswagen just launched the T-Roc convertible in 2020.
