AROUND THE WORLD IN 80 DAYS BY LAND ROVERS


The Land Rover plant at Solihull, played host to 16 assorted Land Rover vehicles from Hong Kong, taking part in an epic round the world expedition. They arrived in the UK on 15 July and, whilst on “home soil” made the pilgrimage to Lode Lane, to visit the manufacturing facility where they were first assembled.

The sixteen Land Rovers, driven by their intrepid owners from the Land Rover Club of Hong Kong, are on a drive to conquer the world in 80 days. The four month expedition started on June 9, and already has chalked up more than 15,000 km. Vehicles and drivers have tackled all weathers and terrains as they have journeyed through mainland China, Kazakhstan, Russia, Belarus, Poland, Czech Republic, Germany, Netherlands, Belgium and then France, before reaching the UK.
