In this print from Memory Lane Prints, we witness a momentous occasion at the Solihull assembly line. Today marks the production of the millionth Land Rover, an extraordinary milestone in automotive history. The image showcases two distinguished gentlemen perched proudly on the wings of this iconic vehicle. On the left is Mr David Kemp, a true veteran who has been diligently building these remarkable vehicles since their inception in 1948. His unwavering dedication and craftsmanship have played an integral role in shaping Land Rover's legacy over decades. Standing beside him is Mr Tom Barton, affectionately known as "Mr Land Rover" within the factory walls. As one of the original designers, his visionary contributions to this beloved brand are immeasurable.
