Since this is the first official communication of the year, I will discuss the plans that we are developing for the Solihull Society during the upcom-
President ing year. This will include bimonthly Club activities and monthly expeditions once the snow clears. The first activity was graciously hosted by Land
Robert Quaife Rover Highlands Ranch with presentations by the Schriners, electric motorcycles and then discussions about the National Rally. The trail activity for

the National Rally. This was necessitated by the anticipated influx of people for the filming of the new Lone Ranger movie in Moab, UT starring
Secretary/Membership Johnny Depp. There after much deliberation it was decided to change the dates to October 2-6th. This will be during a cooler time of the year, but

It’s sometimes hard to remember the origins of our
wonderful obsession. As most automotive marques go,
the Land Rover is relatively recent but has left an
indelible mark on the world. Land Rover as a concept
and vehicle didn’t exist officially until 1948 when it was
unveiled at the Amsterdam Motor Show.
In many parts of the undeveloped world, the Land Rover was the
first vehicle seen by indigenous peoples the world over. Napoleon
Chagnon has a wonderful anecdote during his time in Africa with the
!Kung San involving a Land Rover. When you think of Land Rover, I’m
sure it conjures up the mystique of Africa, Australian Outback or the We all cringe when we hear some of the less informed people refer

8. So, how did this icon of adventure
spirit and ultimate adventure lifestyle
come about?
Maurice Wilks, the chief designer for Rover car, wanted a new model
for Rover to produce. His brother, Spencer Wilks, was the managing director
of Land Rover at the time. They had been using a WWII surplus Willy’s Jeep
at Maurice’s holiday home in Wales and they were inspired by its
capabilities.
The problem they also faced was a severe shortage of steel because
of the war. One material that Britain had in abundance at that time was
aluminum from all the aircraft. The original Land Rover prototype was built
in 1947 on a Willy’s chassis using Birmabright (an alloy of aluminum and
magnesium) body panels with a tractor style center steering setup. The use
of Birmabright for the body panels means the alloy is self-healing. Small
scratches would be filled in by the alloy.
Maurice’s original concept was for a vehicle that would serve more as a
farm implement than as transportation.
The production Series I was a normal driver position (RHD or LHD),
canvas roofed truck with permanent four wheel drive. The Series I was the
start of the mechano-kit modular Land Rover. The doors were optional on
the Series I trucks. That original truck had only an 80” wheelbase.
Eventually the Land Rover grew, 80” to 86”, 88” being the final Series
I SWB; with the introduction of a 107” in pickup form first and then as the
full safari wagon we have all come to love.
1958 was a split year, the last of the Series I’s and the first of the Series
II’s being introduced. The Series II saw the Land Rover body shapes we are
all familiar with. The body style changed from the slab sided Series I to the
barrel sided body we are all familiar with.
1961 saw the Series IIA. These are perhaps the trucks so iconic in our
minds as they chug across Africa in various television shows during the
1960s and 70s. The changes were minor and mostly cosmetic, with the
only major mechanical change being the introduction of a 2.25 liter diesel.
By 1967 Land Rover introduced a 2.6 liter 6 cylinder engine borrowed from
the Rover sedan. 811 of these as 109 station wagons were sold as NADA
(North American Dollar Area) Land Rovers. This is a different 6 cylinder from
the European motor introduced in the late 1960s. 1969 saw the headlamps
move from the grille to the end of the wings. This was supposedly for
visibility purposes.
