Vehicle builders
Firms that built whole Land Rovers rather than bodies for them — under licence, from CKD kits, or as a local derivative that drifted a long way from Solihull. Ford Motor Company, Toyota Motor Corporation and American Motors Corporation ran production lines, not conversion shops, which is why a handful of firms here account for 1045 of the registry's vehicles.
The 5 largest
Also Santana Motor, Citroën, ACMAT, Saint-Nazaire, Ulyanovsk Automobile Plant, Mercedes-Benz and Chevrolet and 133 more.
Bodywork
Coachbuilders and conversion specialists that built ambulance, fire appliance, motor caravan and command-post bodies on the Land Rover chassis cab or hard top. Several were building horse-drawn bodies before the Land Rover existed: Martin Walter Ltd from 1773, Tickford Ltd from 1820, Carmichael & Sons from 1849 and Penman Engineering from 1859.
The 5 largest
Also Foley Specialist Vehicles, HCB-Angus, Sandringham Motor Company, State Engineering, Durisotti and Herbert Lomas Ltd and 33 more.
Defence & engineering
Armourers, defence contractors and engineering consultancies rather than bodyshops: firms that added ballistic or composite plate, re-engineered a chassis for a military order, or fitted the equipment that gave a working Land Rover its job — the armour of the Shorland and the Snatch, the WMIK weapons mount, the remotely driven Panama, the breakdown-truck crane.
The 5 largest
Also SVOS spol. s r.o., OVIK, AWA Defence Industries, BAE Systems Australia, Bill Stroppe & Associates and British Army Motoring Association and 9 more.
Equipment
Makers of the equipment fitted to, towed by or driven from a Land Rover rather than of the vehicle itself: winches and power take-off drives, trailers, roof racks, armour and radio installation kits, wheels and tyres. GKN Sankey, Harvey Frost & Co. and Chubb Fire account for the most items. 118 items in the equipment index resolve to a maker here, each with its production years, price where recorded and sources.
The 5 largest
Also Aeon Products, Aeroparts Engineering, Alfred Bullows & Sons, ARB 4x4 Accessories, Ashcroft Transmissions and Atlas Copco and 51 more.
Workshops
Vehicles built by the people who operated them. Police, army and utility workshops rebuilt, armoured and reconfigured Land Rovers in-house — the Royal Ulster Constabulary designed and built its own armoured cars at Seapark, and the Post Office fitted out its own field fleet — and the restorers and restomod builders at the end of the list are doing the same job in reverse.
The 5 largest
Also Defence Support Group, John Brown 4x4, RAEME 3 Base Workshop, REME / SEME Bordon, REME 10 Airborne Workshop and Spanish Army Jefatura de Transmisiones and 2 more.
The 5 largest
Also ACM, Italy, ARGO, Ontario, Bucher-Guyer AG, Niederweningen, Chubb Fire, Ford, Silverton, Pretoria and Kamaz-master, Naberezhnye Chelny and 28 more.
