Land Rover Diecast Model Cars

Think Land Rover and think adventure. The boxy, four-wheel drive vehicles have traversed some of the globe's toughest terrain and lived to tell the tale.

The precursor to today's stylish Land Rover was developed on an island off the coast of England and Wales. There a designer for the British carmaker Rover set out to build an all-terrain car that could easily handle the rough landscape of rocks and hills on country farms. He took a fancy, it's claimed, to a WWII American Jeep and used a Jeep chassis to make the first Land Rover.
