Land Rover Series I at Ashdown Camp

Wartime in the Vale 2022 event. Ashdown Camp, at Ashdown Farm, off Badsey Road, Evesham, Worcestershire, England, United Kingdom, on Saturday 25th of June 2022.
About this photograph.
This is a Land Rover Series I built sometime between 1948-1958. This model is likely to have been built from 1950 onward, judging from the design of the headlights.
The Rover Company, founded in 1878 started building bicycles, then by 1904, they moved into the automobile industry by making motorcycles, and later cars.
After the Second World War, they were inspired by the Willys MB jeep, and decided to make their own mass-produced civilian four-wheel drive cars, with a sturdier fully box-welded frame, for agricultural use.
The engine is likely to be a 2.0 L petrol or diesel engine with 4 speed manual gear, and it is a two door body style with an optional soft roof.
When the company started building them, there were simply called Land Rover until 1958. Once they started introducing later models, the first model was then commonly referred as Series I when they built the next model, they called those as the Series II.
The name Land Rover eventually became a separate brand name on its own, and also became a company in its own right. Earlier Land Rover models were then commonly referred as the Series models, to distinguish them from later production models such as the Defender.
About the event.
Wartime in the Vale is an annual re-enactment event, held at the former Second World War camp, next to the town of Evesham, during the summer. The event is organised by the Military Vehicle Trust – South Midlands Area.
The event is held during the weekend, and believed to have at least more than 500 military vehicles of various eras, but mostly of First and Second World Wars, on display as well as re-enactment events in the main arena, including blank firing of weapons. They even have a flypast over the area.
The Ashdown Camp is a 40 acres site, with some old WWII era buildings, mainly huts, located near the Ashdown Farm, just to the east of Evesham.
