Editing Land Rover (section)

=== Land Rover Ltd – subsidiary of BL ===
Land Rover as a company has existed since 1978. Prior to this, it was a product line of the Rover Company, which was absorbed into the Rover-Triumph division of the [[British Leyland Motor Corporation]] (BL) following [[Leyland Motor Corporation]]'s takeover of Rover in 1967. The ongoing commercial success of the original Land Rover series models and the Range Rover in the 1970s, in the midst of BL's well-documented business troubles, prompted the establishment of a separate Land Rover company under the BL umbrella, remaining part of the subsequent [[Rover Group]] in 1988 under the ownership of [[British Aerospace]], after British Leyland was broken up and privatised.
