Land Rovers in Sarawak

The birth of Land Rover took place in 1947 when  English Maurice Wilks, chief designer of the Rover Company, decided that he could build a good vehicle using ex army jeeps.


The first Land Rover was unvield at the Amsterdam Motor show on 30th April in 1948.

Sarawak, being a Colony started to import many Land Rovers for Government usage.

Later the British Army and the Australian army brought many Land Rovers to Sarawak.

Today Range Rovers are very favoured vehicles in Sarawak.
