A distinctive feature is their bodies, constructed of a lightweight rustproof proprietary of and called . This material was used owing to post war steel shortages and a plentiful supply of post-war aircraft aluminium. This metal's resistance to corrosion was one of the factors that allowed the vehicle to build up a reputation for longevity in the toughest conditions. It is reckoned that 75% of all those ever built are still in use. In fact, find cheap gas for Land Rover drivers sometimes refer to other makes of 4x4 as "disposables".
