4X4.

Land Rover.

The four by four off roader vehicle is perhaps one of those mile stones in the invention of human history. A vehicle that is capable of driving over difficult terrain, while also being on a normal tarmac road.

One of the daddies of the 4X4 is the now iconic Land Rover series, from the Mark 1 to the present day Defender. The British Land Rover was based on the chassis of the U.S. Willy's Jeep, which had been around from the 1920's in the United States and nearly never was.

There have since 1948 been many takes on the Land Rover, short wheel base and long and the Australian 110. The Land rover is nearly used by every nation in the world for Police, Internal security, Emergency Services and Military use.

But in the civil role it has been ideally suited for farm work, mountain rescue.
