Land Rover - Series 2  1958-1961
Soft top
The Land Rover was originally designed by Maurice Wilks on his farm in Anglesey based on the US Jeep of WWII fame and released in 1948.
This second indestructible incarnation first appeared in 1958 and was a much more modern shape that actually looked as if it had been designed rather than just thrown together from bits.
It used a 2.25 petrol engine of 72bhp or a 2 litre diesel and was used by most of the Commonwealth military and became well known to the growing band of black and white television watchers with regular appearances in wildlife documentaries set in the African bush.

Land Rover - Series 3   1971-1985
Hard top
1971 and a NEW Land Rover series III!
Big changes! well no... the headlamps move to the wings. (they were moved there in 1968 for the series IIA really) 
Alas the rot sets in here... a plastic grille of all things and a moulded plastic dash.
 

Land Rover - Series 3
Soft top
1976 saw the one millionth one roll off that Solihull production line.
By the late 70's the British Army alone had over 9,000 Series III on their books.
200 brand new Series III's went down with the Atlantic Conveyor when she was sunk in the Falklands War
 

Land Rover - Series 3  SWB
with sheet metal bonnet
No less than 800,000 Series III were built before the final one came out of Solihull in 1985.
This particular SWB illustration is based on my sons Series III that sat on our drive for many years
providing sumptuous accommodation for many generations of spiders.
