From February 1969 on the home market the headlamps of every Series IIA moved into the wings, and a few months later the sills were reshaped to sit shallower. The Land Rover was at the height of its commercial success: 1969 and 1970 were the peak years when sales of utility Land Rovers topped 60,000 a year, helped by a dominant position in Australia, where Land Rover held 90 percent of the four-wheel-drive market in the 1960s.
