75 Years of Iconic Land Rovers

Westley Richards guns and leather goods, like Land Rovers, are multi-generational purchases, passing from parent to child and becoming much loved family members.

By Westley Richards & Co.

Land Rover has been a British icon since 1948 and the vehicle of choice for countless Westley Richards customers for generations. In this 75th anniversary year of the famous green oval, our adventure clothing and Land Rover, the ultimate adventure vehicle, make a perfect pairing.

For this winter's brochure and collection imagery we featured the classic and the new; a beautifully restored Series III model ‘90’, and a brand new Overfinch Supercharged V8 Carpathian Edition Defender 110.

Overfinch has been re-defining Land Rover models for four decades, striving to provide modifications that deliver unique, bespoke individuality to a global clientele.

Land Rover marque enthusiasts are as passionate about the vintage as they are about the cutting edge. Nut-and-bolt restorations of classic examples, as well as custom re-builds, still grace our roads, dirt tracks and shooting estates.

Style and longevity never go out of fashion; a notion that lives deep in the heart of our most iconic British brands. Like Land Rover, Westley Richards creates hard-working outdoor kit that is as much at home in Knightsbridge as on a wet and windy grouse moor.

Special thanks to Overfinch and The Rover Social for lending their vehicles.
