The idea to build a Rover for the Land formed in early 1947, and early prototypes were running during summer 1947. At a Board Meeting in September 1947, this new vehicle was described as an 'all-purpose vehicle on the lines of the Willys-Overland post-war Jeep'. Although similar to the Jeep, it was designed to be more useful to the farmer. It had greater utility as a power source being able to drive things, have lots of bolt-on accessories, and "to have power take offs everywhere". Tooling was also minimised by using existing Rover parts where possible, and using body panels that could be made with simple folds.

What Is A Chassis Number, And Why Do
Dismantlers/Repairers Need It?
The chassis or frame number of your vehicle
assists the dismantlers in identifying exactly
which model of vehicle you have, as it is possible
for manufacturers to change a car model in the
middle of any given year.
How And Where Do I Locate My Chassis
Number?
For most passenger vehicles, the chassis number
can be found in the engine bay.
- Lift Bonnet of Vehicle and Place On
Holder For Safety.
- Look at the wall behind the motor (this
is often referred to as the “firewall”
and is the wall that separates the engine bay
and the vehicles dashboard in the cabin.)
- In almost all cases the chassis number
will be located in the middle of the top part
of the firewall. This number may either be stamped
into the body in the same color as the paint
or can be a silver “credit-card”
sized plate riveted in the same area.
