Everyone always remember, the first Land Rover built was, after all, a rebuilt Jeep. <img src="/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> The company started producing after two Brits rebuilt their Jeep, which they had used for fun, started wearing out. At least that was what I remember the History Channel said.

This page also gives clue that this one prototype for some reason might have been destroyed. I dunno much about it.
