The clubs history can be traced back to 1976. 

Land Rover events before this date were held under the South West Rover Owner Club banner, but with the increasing demand for more events and entry levels growing, a separate club was essential to move the sport forward.

Through the early days we were running 10 or so CCV type trials a year along with a social navigation type event; vehicles used were mainly old series ones, some even had a rudimentary roll bar. We still have members from those days at least two of whom are still active in current trials. 

As the years moved on the vehicles developed; Tyro’s aren’t restricted to Land Rover family only, they can be any 4x4 vehicle, so long as they are road worthy. RTV’s are predominantly 90s and Discovery 1 and 2s, with CCV vehicles generally custom build 80” coil sprung vehicles made to look like a series 1 Land Rover. Comp Safari vehicles are custom build 88” with highly tuned petrol and diesel engines and trick suspension.
