An Entity of Type : owl:Thing, within Data Space : 134.155.108.49:8890 associated with source dataset(s)

The initial proto-type was built with a central driving position, but then it was found that UK Traffic regulations did not allow this for Cars and several pre production prototypes were built for publicity, testing and demonstrators in Right and left handed versions. The Body was built from Alloy as post war steel was still in short supply, and rationed. But there was plenty of capacity in the aircraft industry from the drop in demand for aircraft bodies following cessation of hostilities. Details required.

  • The initial proto-type was built with a central driving position, but then it was found that UK Traffic regulations did not allow this for Cars and several pre production prototypes were built for publicity, testing and demonstrators in Right and left handed versions. The Body was built from Alloy as post war steel was still in short supply, and rationed. But there was plenty of capacity in the aircraft industry from the drop in demand for aircraft bodies following cessation of hostilities. The design that allowed the Land Rover to be used as a Light tractor also allowed it to be sold at home to farmers rather than being exported as a lot of post war production was allocated to earning foreign revenue to pay for the war from export markets. But increasing Agricultural production to reduce imports was a priority at home, so some items were exempt from export only rules. Details required.
