Classic Land Rover focus

Series 1, 2 and 3

The Land Rover Series models are the foundation of the brand’s off-road legacy. The Series 1, launched in 1948, set the standard with its rugged design and versatility. Series 2 and 3 followed, each improving on the original concept.

The team can guide you through common issues like chassis rust and gearbox wear. We offer upgraded parts that improve performance while keeping the classic look intact.

Land Rover Defender legacy

The Land Rover Defender, born from the Series models, became an off-road icon in its own right. Its boxy shape and go-anywhere ability made it a favourite among adventurers and farmers alike.

Rimmer Bros carries an extensive range of Defender parts. Whether you need a new galvanised chassis or a simple oil filter, we’ve got you covered. Our knowledge spans all Defender variants, from the 90 to the 130.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

What are the essential components to refurbish a Range Rover Classic interior?

Depending on its condition, you’ll likely need seat covers, door panels, and carpet sets to refurbish a Range Rover Classic interior.

What is the history behind the original Land Rover design and its designer?

Maurice Wilks designed the original Land Rover in 1947. He was inspired by the American Jeep used in World War II. Wilks sketched the initial design on a Welsh beach. The first prototype used a Jeep chassis and axles. It featured a central driving position. The iconic boxy shape was partly due to the use of flat body panels, which were easier to produce. Land Rover was officially launched at the 1948 Amsterdam Motor Show. The vehicle was designed for farm and light industrial use, but its versatility quickly made it famous for various applications.
