Its life is a metaphor for its products. It has struggled through the impossible terrain of recessions, fuel crises, appalling reliability problems, the demise of the UK motor industry, an American buy-out and, recently, an Indian takeover to emerge on the other side, still the maker of the world's best 4x4. By far.

Defender
So noisy and uncomfortable it's in breach of UN torture legislation, but on the plus side it's more agile in the wild than a leopard. And it won't ever change its spots.
-
Discovery 4
£35,802 - £50,230
Only slightly lighter than a centurion tank, the Disco remains the Yummy Mummy favourite. Bit of overkill, but we're partial to one.
-
Freelander 2
£21,695 - £35,800
Compact SUV benchmark that's no longer styled like a bench. A real coming-of-age model, it sorts previous reliability issues and delivers the full urban cool experience.
-
Range Rover
£67,972 - £85,290
Part of the landscape of Britain, rather like Blenheim Palace or the Cotswolds – both of which, coincidentally, are places where Range Rovers gather like wilderbeest.
-
Range Rover Evoque
£27,683 - £43,893
Think of it as a hairdresser's car at your peril: the new Evoque is one of the ballsiest cars in the world. You want one.
-
Range Rover Sport
£47,052 - £73,342
A slight commotion in the Range Rover world as the unruly cousin nobody mentions charges into the party with his loud friends. Wear your tweed cap back to front.
