Land Rover celebrates its 60th birthday at Burghley

Land Rover will once again be supporting The Land Rover Burghley Horse Trials as title sponsor from September 4-7 this year, where it will also be celebrating its milestone anniversary.

60 years ago, on April 30, 1948, the first ever Land Rover was unveiled at an Amsterdam Motor Show.

Since then adventurers, farmers, scientists and outdoor sport enthusiasts the world over have all used Land Rover’s capability to access some of the world’s most inhospitable regions, while today the brand continues to go from strength-to-strength.

    Car parking is not “undercharged” nor is it “subsidised”. Town centre businesses are overtaxed by local authorities rates and would close or move out of town if their customers were driven away by parking charges. This would dramatically reduce the local authorities income from these lost businesses.

    This government is totally out of it’s mind – car parks are expensive to park in especially town centre ones. If you use your car for business purposes you have to be near to your work place, because time means money. We all haven’t the luxury of walking / cycling.

    I like that Peugeot plenty!

    They need a new design direction, as the current “wide mouth frog” look is about as appealing dining on nasal excavations. I also hope that they get their ride/handling mojo back, as the 207GTi I test drove late last year had it’s steering anaesthatised and it’s shocks filled with custard. Nasty thing it was, which is why I went for an Alfa 147 Sport Q2.
