The Landy Magazine - October 2020

In this issue

We’ve been waiting for what seems like forever to drive the new Defender. With the new issue of The Landy, that wait finally comes to an end. You’ve read all sorts of reviews and first-drive impressions about it already, of course. And all of them, we don’t mind betting, have fallen into the same trap of comparing the new Defender to the old one. So we’ve done it differently. We pretended that the old Defender never existed and that instead, here was Land Rover creating a radical, hardcore alternative to all the SUVs it’s famous for. See it like that, and the new Defender turns out to be a perfect replacement for a much loved Landy from the past. But which one…? Also in this issue, we’ve an eye on the progress of a couple of project motors – a Disco 2 getting an off-road build and an old 90 being slowly refurbished on the driveway. We’ve got the final instalment of an expedition story that was cut short when lockdown swept over the world, and we’ve unearthed a hidden treasure from the off-road scene that could make a very, very nice project for someone.
