Land Rover HistoryLand Rover is a British four-wheel-drive off-road utility vehicle developed from the original Land Rover Series launched in 1948. In October 2013 Land Rover announced that production would end in December 2015 for all Defender models. after a continuous run of 67 years. The 110 model was introduced in 1983 as the "Land Rover one ten”. with the numbers representing the wheelbase in inches. The number was spelled in full in advertising and in handbooks and manuals. and the vehicles also carried badges above the radiator grille which read "Land Rover 110". with the number rendered numerically. The One Ten replaced the earlier Land Rover Series. and at the time of launch. the only other Land Rover model in production was the Range Rover.
