One of the most famous names in British motoring heritage has made history by breaking through a sales milestone for the first time.
Land Rover, which Car Finance customers may remember was bought by FORD in 2000, sold more than 200,000 vehicles worldwide during November for the first time in nearly 60 years; a year-on-year increase of 27 per cent.
The firm's Range ROVER vehicle, which has become one of the brand's most popular cars, was at the forefront of growth in Russia and Spain, new figures show. Car Loans customers may like to know the company sold 205,717 vehicles during the month.
Land Rover's managing director Phil Popham said: "This is a significant milestone in Land Rover's history and puts us on a firm footing as we approach our 60th anniversary. This sales achievement has been driven by exciting new product with improved environmental performance."
The first Land Rover vehicle was launched in 1948 and was part of the Rover company.
