This American advertisement invited readers to get a free booklet called "A Guide to Land Rover Expeditions" which would no doubt accompany a range of glossy brochures about the latest vehicles available when it arrives on the doorstep

By the early 1970s, Land Rover were such a part of popular culture, the company were happy to promote its" mystique" as much as the vehicle's specific features

This advert uses a toy Meccano model to show the simple way a Land Rover is built, but emphasises the need to have an expert service it.

------------ 1975

This is an advert which supposedly features some of the many Land Rover mechanics always available to every owner. However, in this much more male orientated era, having a young pretty female wearing fashionable boots and an unbuttoned overall sitting in the middle of the group, somehow questioned the authenticity of the "mechanics" who were featured.

This was a very effective advert which simply showed how the same vehicle is a vital working tool for many of Britain's biggest companies.

An Australian advert stating a price reduction of the new Land Rovers to try and ward off competition from newer rival firms

------------ 1979

Another advert offering serious financial incentives to customers who had been purchasing rival vehicles in increasing numbers in recent years

------------ 1979

An unusual advert informing readers that following major political changes in Iran, a large order of Range Rovers had been cancelled, but were now available for purchase in Australia
