'The Lode Lane factory built Bristol Hercules engines. These were used for Stirlings and Beaufighters and some Halifaxs. Prior to this some components were produced at Acocks Green.
Production was also started at their new works at Lode Lane, Solihull in January 1940; the Air Ministry met the total cost of the building. By the following October, the first completely Rover-built Hercules engine was tested. Many Stirlings were built at Austin motors, Longbridge. A great deal of Stirling components were also made in the Solihull area.'
....
The factory became a fortified location and to this day the machine gun emplacements are still visible. The oldest parts of the Rover factory are the present day South Works.
Engines were built at Lode Lane and transported to large hangers at Elmdon were Stirling bombers were assembled.
Before the War the Rover Car Company based in Coventry had began producing bicycles and then motor cars. After the War a decision was made to relocate to the then redundant Lode Lane site and in 1946 the company moved to Solihull.
With the changing conditions of the post war world and a government keen to encourage the export of motor vehicles Rover decided it needed a new product - a product which could be manufactured in substantial numbers and which would appeal to worldwide markets.
Two brothers, Maurice and Spencer Wilks, who were Rover's Chairman and Chief Engineer owned a farm and had purchased an ex-US army jeep. Driving it on the farm quickly convinced them that Rover could build a better four-wheel drive machine, using the same basic engineering ideas.
The Land Rover was conceived. The design concept was that it had to be simple to build, strong and easy to operate. It was developed especially for farmers and the developing Third World markets. To overcome the steel shortage and rationing, the body panels were made of aluminium, which was readily available.
