Special:
- Herbert Austin built his first car, a tiller-steered three wheeler car, in 1895 for Wolseley, Birmingham - UK.
- In 1905 he founded his own company, The Austin Motor Company Limited in Longbridge - UK.
- In 1952 it was merged with Morris Motors Limited in the new holding company British Motor Corporation (BMC) Limited, keeping its separate identity. The marque Austin was used until 1987.
- The “Flexitor” suspension system (produced by George Spencer, Moulton and Company) gave the Gipsy the ability to travel at high speeds over rough terrain.
- The Gipsy (or “Gippo” as it was nicknamed at the factory with typical Birmingham slang) was available as this SWB 90 model and as LWB 111 (G4M15) model.
- When BMC with Leyland merged to form British Leyland Motor Corporation, the Gipsy and the Land Rover were being produced by the same company and stopped the production of the Gipsy in 1968.
- They were assembled at the Longbridge (United Kingdom), New Zealand, Sydney (Australia) and in Bogota (Colombia).

The Series II (1958-61) was the first Land Rover to receive the attention of Rover's styling department. Chief Stylist David Bache produced the familiar 'barrel side' waistline, with a 5 in (12.7 cm) greater width to cover the vehicle's wider tracks, as well as the improved design of the truck cab variant, introducing the curved side windows and rounded roof still used
The series II and IIA are difficult to distinguish with only minor cosmetic differences the most significant mechanical change being the introduction of the new 2.25 ltr Diesel engine which after 1967 included a 2.6-litre inline six-cylinder petrol engine . They came in a wide range of body styles and on a SWB 88 inch or LWB 109 inch chassis.
In 1969 (February) home market models had the head lamps moved into the wings and sill panels were redesigned to be shallower a few months later the rear wheelarch profile was changed. The Series IIA was the most prolific of the Series Land Rovers and way outsold the later Defender. The peak sales year was 1969–70, when sales of over 60,000 Land Rovers a year were recorded of which some 70% had been exported. on top this Land Rover dominated many world markets- in Australia in the 1960s Land Rover held 90% of the 4×4 market. This figure was repeated in many countries in Africa and the Middle East.
