The Landy Magazine - January 2021

In this issue

There was a time when the obvious thing to do with a V8 90 would be to turn it into an off-road beast. These days, though, original factory V8s are rare and precious – so if you found one that someone had ragged, you'd immediately think about restoring it. That's exactly what Luke Odgen did. But despite treating the 90 to a chassis-up rebuild, he didn't take it back to standard. Instead, he created a stunning street machine with real off-road cred – and a feature up top which you're unlikely ever to have seen before… Elsewhere in The Landy this month, we've put the spotlight on an ex-utility 110 that's been turned into an all-terrain camper with some really tidy features. And if you like being noticed, how about a heftily jacked-up Discovery 2 – which also happens to be a fully liveried ambulance with all its lights and sirens still in operation? We've also got the concluding instalment of our workshop story on changing a Defender's rear crossmember. And as the world shows signs of being able to start opening back up (hasta la vaccine, baby…), we have a welcome story about overland holidays in the Portuguese interior – a genuine wilderness that's close enough to home to be easily achievable. Our news pages cover the latest developments in the factory and elsewhere, including Land Rover's celebrations for the Range Rover's 50th anniversary. And in addition to the usual batch of new products, there's a bumper crop of interesting Land Rovers for sale in our classified pages. It's all there in the new issue of The Landy!
