British automotive company specializing in the production of premium cars. Since 2008, it has been owned by the Indian company Tata Motors. Jaguar was founded in 1922 as the Swallow Sidecar Company and made motorized strollers. After World War II, the name was changed to "Jaguar" to avoid the unfavorable combination of "SS". In 1966 it merged with the British Motor Corporation, which became known as British Motor Holdings (BMH), in 1968 it merged with Layland Motor Corporation and renamed British Leyland. In 1975 the company was nationalized. The creators of the first Land Rover car are the chief designer of the British company Rover - Maurice Wilkes and his brother Spencer Wilkes. The idea of creating the company was announced in 1947, and just a year later, in 1948, the first Land Rover car was designed and manufactured, marking the beginning of the founding of the company of the same name, which within a short time has already won worldwide fame in the automotive markets among manufacturing companies. ... The company is initially focused on innovation in manufacturing and ingenuity in the use of materials, combined with all the advantages of Land Rover vehicles. The first car, like all subsequent ones, was unique - four-wheel drive, a lightweight chassis, aluminum was used instead of steel, and it was painted with paint for fighters (at this time the country was undergoing post-war reconstruction). At the end of the 50s of the last century, thanks to new models, which were completely modified and improved, Land Rover began to receive orders from all over the world, as a result of which the delivery of cars began to be carried out in more than 70 countries located on all continents. Since then, Land Rover has been recognized as an international brand. Today, Land Rover vehicles are recognized as the best four-wheel drive vehicles in the world with a functional classic design.
