Rover – other models: Land Rover Defender, Discovery and Range Rover as commercial vehicles, four- to eight-cylinders, 860 to 2,440 kg unladen weight
This page gathers vehicles of the Rover and Land Rover marques that the register could not assign to a named range and that are mostly registered as a commercial vehicle – from the classic Land Rover 88 and 110 through the Defender and Discovery to the Range Rover, in versions with pickup bed, hardtop or van body, registered in several countries as a light commercial rather than a passenger car. Land Rover began in 1948 as an off-road working vehicle of the Rover Company in Solihull near Birmingham and for decades remained the technical basis for both civilian and commercial use alike.

The register lists here 25 versions with 38 to 90 kW from four- to eight-cylinders, unladen weights from 860 to 2,440 kg, gross weights from 1,280 to 3,500 kg, lengths from 3,635 to 4,500 mm and widths from 1,550 to 1,890 mm.
As a commercial vehicle this group served agriculture, forestry, emergency services and the military, for whom the combination of four-wheel drive, ladder frame and rugged body was unmatched for decades, before modern pickups and commercial SUVs from other makes divided the market.
On these vehicles, rust on the chassis and on the aluminium body panels at the transition to the steel frame counts above all, along with the condition of the axles, transfer case and differential locks, body sealing, and on the diesel engines the injection pump and turbocharger; spare parts are well available through a dense network of specialists and clubs.
