Land Rover

The first Land Rover made its debut in 1948. It was designed with brilliant simplicity for extraordinary ability and unrivalled strength and durability. In fact, six decades on it is estimated that two-thirds of all these incredible vehicles are still at work – many of them in some of the most extreme conditions and inhospitable places on earth. Land Rover products are sold in 185 countries.

Land Rover is delighted to be able to continue their partnership with the NFU by displaying our product at WABCG, giving you the opportunity to experience the Discovery 4 as you move between your hotel and the conference venue. Read more...
