The end of an era. The British Ministry of Defence announced yesterday that it would start phasing out its still-large fleet of Land Rovers, ending an association between these tough vehicles and the British Army that dates back over seventy years. Here is the first pre-production Series 1 Land Rover from 1948. On display at the British Motor Museum at Gaydon in 2023. (1/2)

@davidwilkins Fit a landy with a galvanised chassis and it will last forever. Good candidates for electric conversion - if same didn’t cost so darn much. #LandRover
