caption_attribution_description: English: A 1948 Land Rover Series I. This car, with registration number HUE 166, was the first pre-production Land Rover. It is now kept at the British Motor Museum, Gaydon, UK.
context_page_description: The Land Rover series I, II, and III, or simply the Land-Rover, are British off-road vehicles produced by the Rover Company, and later British Leyland. The Land Rover was the first mass-produced civilian four-wheel drive car with doors on it. In 1992, Land Rover claimed that 70% of all the vehicles they had built were still in use.
  Most series models feature leaf-spring suspension with selectable two or four-wheel drive, however series I's produced between 1948 and mid-1951 had constant 4WD via a freewheel mechanism, and the Stage 1 V8 version of the series III featured permanent 4WD. All three models could be started with a front hand crank and had the option of front & rear power takeoffs for accessories.
