Brief overview of the history of Land Rover…

Series 3, which was released in 1971 faster than Series 2, was offered to its users with its new updates. A heating feature was added by placing a ventilation grille in the glove compartment. The curved door hinges in Series 2 were replaced by flattened hinges in this series.

Just 5 years after 1 million Land Rovers rolled off the production line, Series 3 met with enthusiasts in 1979 with a 4-wheel drive 3.5 V8 engine.

The symbolic protruding nose of the Series 3 disappeared in 1983. The 109 inch Series 3 was replaced by the 110 wheelbase in March 1984.

In 1984, the co spring 90 Land Rover was launched. In fact, it had a 93-inch wheelbase rather than 90 and a 4-cylinder engine.

While the vehicles produced between 1985 and 1987 were put into service with 90, 110 standard and 130 long wheelbases, after 1987 these vehicles began to be called Defender.

A new diesel engine was prepared and in-car comfort was increased. In December 1998, the 122 horsepower 5-cylinder TD5 was introduced as the standard engine in Defenders.

Land Rover Defender was later put into service with 2.2 and 2.4 Ford diesel engines. This engine was a 4-cylinder turbocharged diesel engine introduced with Ford in 2006. The first generation Defender had a fairly long lifespan for any vehicle, being produced for 26 years. With a fan base demanding a re-imagining of such a beloved vehicle, Land Rover has barely had a chance to decide whether to produce a new Defender. Rumors started shortly after the last original Defender rolled off the production line in 2016, but the new Defender was only officially unveiled in 2019.
