The original Land Rover laid the foundations for Land Rover's leadership in the four wheel drive marketplace. Since then, Land Rover has spearheaded the most advanced four wheel drive technology in the industry; with Range
Rover,
Discovery, and
now
Freelander. Technology on which we are building our future for the next millennium. Meeting, and surpassing, the needs and aspirations of customers worldwide, who want more than a conventional car can ever give them. Such an achievement is well worth celebrating. So Land Rover is offering those who value its uniqueness- something truly unique.
