Landrover L.W.B.

The Landrover was first introduced in 1948 by the Rover Company of Solihull. The short 88" and long 109" wheelbase versions soon became popular all-purpose cross country vehicles. The British Army adopted the Landrover in 1956. The basic military Landrover L.W.B. has a canvas tilt; it seats the driver and two passengers in the front, and up to eight passengers in the rear. When used as a cargo carrier, the Landrover L.W.B. has a capacity of 750 kg. In the weapons carrier role, the Landrover may transport an 81 mm mortar or the 120 mm Wombat recoilless anti-tank gun. The F.V. 18602 version of the Landrover L.W.B. has a 24 volt A.C. electrical system, and it may be fitted to carry radios such as the C42 set.

Empleo Histórico

• British Army 1956-today

Winston Churchill is reported to have said about the Landrover that it was the only vehicle on which one may place a whiskey glass without any risk of breaking it. The Landrover’s angular shape, its perfect lines make it a popular vehicle even today, despite the fact that it is notoriously underpowered.
