Historische Verwendung
- British Army 1956-today
Winston Churchill is reported to have said about the Landrover that it was the only Fahrzeug on which one may place a whiskey glass without any risk of breaking it. The Landrover’s angular shape, its perfect lines make it a popular Fahrzeug even today, despite the fact that it is notoriously underpowered.
