Land Rover celebrates 70 years at Goodwood Festival of Speed 2018

Land Rover takes to the famous Goodwood hillclimb with a special selection of 70 Land Rovers at this year's Festival of Speed. 

Spanning all Land Rover models, and with eye catching special editions and conversions, the anniversary parade celebrates seven decades of 'Above and Beyond' adventures and public service.

'Huey' HUE166, the first pre-production Land Rover prototype, will lead the procession followed by a cast of iconic Land Rovers from Series Is, IIs and IIIs to Defender, the four generations of Range Rover, the five generations of Discovery, Freelanders, Range Rover Sports, Discovery Sports, Evoques and Velars that bring the family up to date.

There will also be a selection of military, first response rescue vehicles and expedition vehicles that recall some of the greatest adventures in Land Rover history.

This includes Bob and Joe Ives' winning Camel Trophy 110, and the millionth Discovery which was driven from Solihull to Beijing on the 'Journey of Discovery' expedition in 2012.

Also on 'the hill' is the Defender Works V8 which will be gearing up twice daily in the 'First Glance' batch and a staggering Guinness World Record attempt by stunt-driver Terry Grant. Terry will drive the Range Rover Sport SVR aiming to achieve the 'Fastest Mile on Two Wheels' title.

Land Rover will sit alongside Jaguar once again this year in the exhibition area of the Goodwood grounds in its biggest format ever.

All of the latest Jaguar and Land Rover vehicles will be on display including showpieces from the 'Special Vehicles' division to include the pinnacle of the Range Rover family; the Range Rover SV Coupe.

Visitors to the Festival will have the chance to get involved in the action too - experiencing Land Rover's legendary off-road capabilities first-hand on a gravity defying obstacle course, whilst youngsters can join in the fun driving mini electric Defenders.
