The new Defender has found its way to new owners in America, as the first deliveries began last week. After delays from Covid-19 shutdowns at the Nitra, Slovakia plant where they are built, they made it onto ships, across the Atlantic, and are now making it to their new homes. But if you want to get one, don't expect it to be an easy feat any time soon -- they're in short supply due to demand and the shutdown-related shortages.

Mules of various upcoming Land Rover products are running around the English Midlands, suggesting all sorts of new and exciting things are on their way from Land Rover across all three of their "product families."

By the mid-1980s, the Camel Trophy was an international mega-event, exploring the world's jungles in their iconic convoys of Sandglow-painted Land Rovers. The event grew bigger and more intense every year, and began to experiment with more arid environments alongside the usual lush green jungle locations.

The famous Land Rover factory at Lode Lane, Solihull, England reopened on May 18th after being shuttered during the Coronavirus lockdown. After an immense amount of rejiggering of assembly techniques, the first Range Rover built with socially-distant procedures rolled off the line on Wednesday, May 20th.

There may be no adventure associated with Land Rover that is more iconic than the Camel Trophy. For eighteen years, the ultimate test of man and machine was partnered with the Best4x4xFar. It was an adventure that touched every part of the globe, and took Land Rovers through the harshest conditions. As Camel Trophy turns 40 in 2020, we're going to look back throughout the year at the history of The Great Adventure.

Land Rover is preparing to start producing vehicles again, after shutting down the assembly lines at all of their European factories in late March due to the coronavirus. Although they will be restarting production, there will not be as many shifts or workers on the factory floor as there were before the outbreak of the pandemic.

As part of their contributions to the fight against the coronavirus, Jaguar Land Rover has been producing protective face shield visors that they designed to benefit health workers around the world. Designed with the assistance of the British National Health Service (NHS), they aim to make 14,000 visors a week.

As part of their plan to offer an electric version of every vehicle available for sale in 2020, Land Rover is launching plug-in hybrid electric vehicle (PHEV) versions of the popular Discovery Sport and Range Rover Evoque. Though not yet for sale in North America, it seems inevitable they will make their way here soon.

In 1998, Land Rover celebrated its fiftieth anniversary, a major milestone for any company. It was celebrated in due style, particularly in America, where Land Rover was enjoying success with Range Rover and Discovery sales. Many enthusiasts consider the 1990s one of Land Rover's greatest periods, and the 50th Anniversary was certainly part of that. It also created a significant cache of memorabilia that still circulates. As we celebrate Land Rover's 72nd anniversary, let's take a look back almost a quarter-century to how we celebrated in North America.

The last weekend of April usually means that Land Rover owners in Northern California are gathering for the annual Mendo_Recce Joe Lucas Not-a-Rallye event. For twenty-five years, "Mendo" has brought together a dedicated coalition of Land Rover lovers from the Bay Area and Northern California, as well as members further afield who drive or fly long distances to attend. Of course, like everything else right now, Mendo XXVI was not held at the usual time due to COVID-19. In place of the traditional gathering, though, a "Virtual Mendo" online event unfolded over the course of the weekend, using technology to create a digital event.

Seventy years ago, in April 1950, the British Automobile & Motor Cycle Show was held at the Grand Central Palace in New York City. Among the models exhibited was the Land Rover, which had not been formally imported to the United States at this point, though some had been sold in Canada. This marked the beginning of high-volume Land Rover sales in the United States.

A few weeks ago, Land Rover reallocated their UK-based Defender press fleet to the British Red Cross, in light of the COVID-19 crisis and the Red Cross’ need to access remote people. Since then, as the Coronavirus has spread, they have branched out into more forms of relief, both with loaned vehicles and online.

After the popularity of our first Travel Guide to Land Rover Colors, which focused on the origins of a selection of Land Rover color names from the past 33 years, we've brought you a second selection to cure your wanderlust in this difficult time. This time, we're focusing on the color names of the new 2020 model year Land Rovers.

We're stuck in our houses for the foreseeable future, doing our part by social distancing to flatten the curve of the Coronavirus. For some of us, this has some upsides and some downsides. Of course, some of us are doing essential jobs to keep people safe and healthy in this difficult time, and for you, the noble work you are doing for all of us precedes more personal pursuits at this time. But for many of you reading this, there's a silver lining to our current situation: you have a lot of time to work on your Land Rover right now.

In February, Land Rover hosted some major automotive journalists on an expedition across Kaokoland, in the northwestern corner of Namibia. Visiting iconic locations like Van Zyl's Pass and the Skeleton Coast, it was the first time a large number of journalists got their hands on Defenders off-road for a proper off-road adventure. On March 25th, the embargo on sharing driving impressions lifted, and media around the globe dropped their stories.
