North American sales of Land Rovers made by the factory ceased in 1974, as competitive pressure from Japanese brands led the company to abandon the United States market. It was also the year in which the Series IIB Forward Control ended production, when Land Rover rationalised its vehicle range. The Series III itself continued with its 2.25-litre petrol and diesel engines and its range of short- and long-wheelbase bodies.
