Land Rover begins 70th anniversary celebrations by restoring original show car

Iconic British brand Land Rover marks its 70th anniversary in 2018. The firm launched at the 1948 Amsterdam Motor show with three pre-production Land Rovers – and it's one of those original show cars that the firm has discovered, 63 years after it vanished.

The company calls it "the world's most historically significant unrestored Land Rover", and over the course of 2018 will bring it back from its rather sorry state to a perfectly finished, drivable vehicle once again.
