First produced in 1948, the Landrover was originaly a vehicle created by the Rover company in England - but later became it's own make of automobiles and is now owned by a bunch of Indians. The Landrovers were among the earliest 4wds and initally created out of spare aircraft parts from the war.

Landrovers quickly grew in popularity owing to their awesome offroad ability and a staring role in an African documentary that highlighted (among other aspects) the unusual tree climbing behavior exhibited by some Landrovers. There are currently a number of Landrovers produced, ranging from tough workhorses to weak SUVs. Landrovers are the most popular 4WD in England. They have quite a following in Australia - although not as much as Toyotas and Nissans which don't break down as often.

The correct abreviation for a Landrover is Landy

In some instances, it can also be called a 'Rover' or 'Son of a Mlakka' or 'the Anti-christ'.
