MILITARY LAND ROVER MANUAL
Land Rovers have been used by the military since they were introduced, in Series I form, in 1948. The Land Rover's rugged, 'go-anywhere' reputation has led to its use in a vast number of military roles, from general-purpose workhorse to special forces reconnaissance vehicle, ambulance, communications vehicle and weapons platform. Additionally, a number of one-off prototypes have been produced for various trials. This manual provides a unique insight into the world of military Land Rovers, with an emphasis on military operation and equipment.

Military Land Rover Manual
By: Pat Ware
The Military Land Rover Enthusiasts' Manual provides a fascinating insight into the development, history and use of the utility vehicle that has served with the British army for 65 years.
Designed as a dual-purpose agricultural utility vehicle, and initially derived from the American Jeep, the Land Rover was conceived as no more than an interim measure to keep Rover's Solihull factory busy while the designs of the company's post-war cars were finalised. However, it found immediate success with its target market... and also came to the attention of the British War Office, proving sufficiently Jeep-like to also assume a military role.
Land Rovers started to enter service with the British Army in 1948. At first, the War Office saw them as nothing more than a stop-gap, supplementing stocks of ageing World War Two Jeeps whilst work on the Austin Champ, the expensive purpose-built machine that was billed as the 'British Jeep', was completed.
Within less than a decade, Solihull's 'stop-gap' had not only superseded the Jeeps, but had also seen off the Champ to become the standard utility vehicle of the British Army. There was no looking back, and the Land Rover has remained in continuous production since 1948, with more than four million vehicles sold. It has been used by the armed forces of more than 60 nations across the world. Not bad for a vehicle that was intended as an interim measure!
The Military Land Rover Enthusiasts' Manual tells the story of the development of the world's most numerous military vehicle, describing not only the modifications that made the standard civilian machines suitable for a wide range of military roles, but also covering the purpose-designed military vehicles that had no civilian equivalent.
The Manual also includes insight into what is involved in finding, restoring and running a military Land Rover, 65 years since Rover's engineering team, under director Maurice Wilks, designed and built the first prototype using parts from a surplus Jeep.
