Everything went fine for the Land Rover series of vehicles until the early 1970's. At this time, Land Rover faced competion from Japanese manufacturers. Land Rover evolved in the mid-1980s and the 90 and 110 series offered turbo-charged engines and stereo radio-cassette players a far cry from the original minimalist farm vehicle. In 1988 Land Rover was acquired by British Aerospace, as part of the Rover Group. Since then Rover has enjoyed robust sales and expansion into the North American market.
