No name is more synonymous with off-roading than Land Rover. Since 1948, every vehicle the brand has produced has had one thing at its heart – the ability to go where few vehicles dare to tread.
To mark 70 years of building the world’s best off-roaders, Land Rover invited us to join a grand convoy of cars past and present to take a tour from its Solihull headquarters to the Jaguar Land Rover Classic facility, where they “restore vehicles with a glorious past, so that they can enjoy a glorious future”.
