The indomitable Land Rover as a dual-purpose, sturdy, yet lightweight vehicle was first designed by Maurice Wilks of British Rover Company in 1946. While the original Land Rover was similar in many aspects to Jeep, at present, the British carmaker is the only one focusing solely on four-wheel drive cars.
Land Rover is considered unique due to its ability to handle both agricultural equipment and passenger load efficiently. Some of the earliest optional accessories of the initial model Land Rover include side screens, doors, passenger seat, heater, cushions, weather protection, starting handle, and spare wheel tire.
The vehicle has undergone several changes over the years.

This may end up in the air filter being under too much stress from the wet and dust environment. In such cases, having Land Rover accessories such as raised air intake ensures the clear air being delivered through the air filter reducing its burden and increasing engine performance. The device consists of a snorkel-like mount fixed to the front of the vehicles on the side. The intake extends into the roof, so it can absorb air that is free of water, debris, and dust.
