The Landy Magazine - June 2020

In this issue

You might be dreaming about setting off on an expedition once the world is back to normal. But this month's issue of The Landy tells the story of what it was like to be out there in a Land Rover, halfway round the world and living on the hoof, when the world went into lockdown.
There's another tale of the unexpected, too, from a team of Brits who travelled to America for the annual King of the Hammers off-road race – only to end up competing in someone else's car after their own Land Rover based buggy broke down yards from the starting line.
No such trouble from the Velar we've got on test, which blends elegance with efficiency thanks to Land Rover's D180 engine. And you certainly wouldn't have wanted to be suffering car trouble in the uncharted territory of Western Sahara – we've got the story of the first ever recce trip run there by a UK-based 4x4 tour operator.
Our series on a young lad's Defender rebuild gathers pace, too, as it comes back from the MOT with some new jobs on the sheet. And if you're still looking for things to improve on your truck during lockdown, a whistle-stop guide to replacing a Defender's door and bonnet hinges demonstrates how a little fettling can make a big difference.
Finally this month, do you fancy owning a Land Rover made famous by Hollywood? No, it's not one of those James Bond things… it's FAR cooler than that! All is revealed in the June issue of The Landy.
