A few months ago
Jaguar-Land-Rover, J.L.R. (a Tata Company) announced the end of production of
the Land Rover Defender. The Defender is a direct decedent of the original Land
Rover Series 1 introduced in 1948. The Series 1 car was built on the frame and
axels of the WWII Jeep. Where I live in Herefordshire, England, a very rural
area, there are still many Land Rovers, both old and new, on the farms and
roads. The Series 1 was powered by a four-cylinder, semi-side-valve, 1.6L
engine developed from pre-war Rover cars.
