Most readers of The Landy still think electric vehicles are a terrible idea. Maybe it’s because they’re yet to be convinced of the environmental case for switching to battery power, or maybe they just like their Land Rovers the way nature intended. And it’s ok for both to apply. But either way, we don’t hear a lot of love for electric conversions round here.

Everybody admires a good resto-mod, though. Even if it’s not the specific kind of truck you’d buy, a really imaginative and well executed restification always looks the part.

So what are you going to make of Lunaz’ new Range Rovers? Seldom have we seen a Classic looking more like a modern concept car. They are, by any measure, superb. But what’s under the bonnet? Here’s a clue, it’s not a V8…

We’re also looking at a 90 this month with a rather more traditional form of repower. Its old pre-Defender engine has gone, to be replaced by a more modern diesel – which these days almost inevitably means a BMW M57.

But wait, what’s this? Look below the surface and you’ll find that this
90 has something even more remarkable going on too…
Finally this month, we’re looking back to the days when Disco 1s were plentiful and turning them into winched-up dogs of war was the most natural thing in the world. That’ll be one reason why there are so few left today – but it wasn’t half good while it lasted.

With The Great British Land Rover Show at Newark on our doorstep, the July issue of The Landy is here and it comes with a whole heap of show attendee information, the official show guide and, as always, 100% Land Rover content.
Off-roaders are being asked to heed the warnings from GLASS over the Lower Claerwen byway where the rock sections have become increasingly extreme. Drivers have been going off-piste in order to avoid this and it’s causing serious damage to the adjacent land. Offenders may well be caught on camera and face prosecution in the near future if they don’t desist.
Range Rover Electric are closing in on a launch date as their prototypes are being tested in the extreme climate of the Arctic Circle. JLR have promised this car will be the ‘quietest and most refined example of the breed ever created’ so count us in as members of the we-can’t-wait-to-try-it-out club!

Home comforts in the back of 2007 Puma? Yes indeed! And owner Lewis Maynard brought this fine example of a Land Rover camper to the recent Great British Land Rover Show Bath & West for all to see and be in envy of. See it for yourself from page 14.

Looking to delve into a tale of triumph, tragedy and the strength of the human spirit? Meet Charlie, the Series II whose story is strewn with emotion and slow progress but ends with a heartfelt restoration as significant as this Landy’s name.

For buying tips, the latest news and reviews plus more articles full to brimming with everything Land Rover, get the July issue of The Landy today.

This month we loosen the reins and let that horsepower run away with the latest instalment of The Landy. The June issue is here and, as always, its 100% Land Rover so let’s turn a few pages for a look at what’s inside…

British adventure brand Defender will soon introduce us to a new high-performance, all-terrain hero and we cannot wait to meet the Octa when it’s finally released later this year. We’ve caught a glimpse and so can you in this month’s issue.

As if Range Rover could get any more exclusive they have now announced a UK-only model – The Burford Edition. Taking it’s name from the idyllic Cotswolds’ landscape and doing so to be ‘synonymous with luxury and a rural lifestyle’, this very limited edition model probably can’t be yours even for the princely sum of £192,000…

Where other than a polo match to debut an all-electric Series IIA restoration that’s crossed the pond for a new life stateside? EV Specialist Everrati couldn’t think of anywhere better, and neither can we for such a high-end custom. Check out what changed under the bonnet from page 17.

In this era of blingers and shinies, we take a look at a true ‘one-off’ in the form of Dave Cooper’s king-cab 90. With a hybrid roll cage patched together from a bounty of elements including some scaffolding and an ‘outside of the box’ method when it came to every one of it’s customisations, this old farm truck became the fine beast you can find between the pages of the June issue.

For plenty more articles like this, stockist contacts, classified ads and more Landy inspiration than anyone other than a true enthusiast could handle, get your copy today!

This month we get ‘intents’, decide if a truly unbreakable Defender is a mission impossible and bring you the unmissable guide to the upcoming Great British Land Rover Show Bath & West. The May issue of The Landy is here and it’s bumper to bumper with the best of everything Land Rover!

Octo-‘put it on charge’ – Lunaz have revealed a fully-electric homage to the open-top Range Rover driven by James Bond in Octopussy. They are coining it the ‘most extensively developed vehicle it has ever produced’ and it’s definitely a playful twist on their detailed and exacting approach to customisation.

We celebrate the well-earned GLASS victory that will see Wrexham County Borough Council commit to repairing the damage caused by anti-vehicle fanatics at White Stones. Here’s to supporting this group as they continue to keep these beautiful lanes open to off-roaders across the UK!

We wouldn’t be on the approach to the first Great British Land Rover Show of the year without the release of our official show guide. With everything from ticket discounts and exhibitor lists to off-road course information, it’s the best way to be in-the-know and enjoy a weekend soaked in Land Rover spirit.

This month we talk to Nik Hammond who struck gold with a Mark 1 Land Rover Discovery that he has since turned into an all singing, all dancing overlanding camper. It is a true example of exactly what made these vehicles great in the first place and is more than deserving of its feature article from page 23.

With all of the latest news, new product reviews and our tried and trusted Landy Buyer guide alongside a stacked stockist directory, there really is no better place for Land Rover enthusiasts than The Landy.

April has come to shower us with another generous sprinkling of The Landy – this month’s issue is out now!

Fancy owning a former Royal Range Rover? Having been customised to chauffeur the Royal family to and from various public engagements, the L405 currently advertised by PistonHeads for Bramley Motors will set you back a hefty sum if you are interested that’s for sure! Can you actually put a price on such a unique piece of history though…?

Anger continues to rise over the cost of insurance cover for new Land Rovers and Range Rovers. Failing to take recent data from theft reports into consideration, the insurance industry is still quoting inflated premiums for these vehicles and is coming under serious fire from JLR with the manufacturer stating that their new models are among ‘the most difficult to steal across the entire market’.

Paris’s prejudiced parking charges have recently reached an eye-watering peak. A residential vote has meant a 200% increase in parking fees for anyone wanting to leave their qualifying SUV curb side. Will we see a sudden surge in Landy-to-little-car swaps with this in mind? We think not.

The term ‘customised’ gets thrown at anything that’s had any of it’s components even marginally faffed with, but Ashley Russell’s Defender has had some honest-to-goodness creativity put into it and it’s made it one of the best Land Rovers we have ever seen. That’s a big statement, we know, but our feature from page 20 detailing the cabinet of Georgian curiosity that Ashley bought to life and has since sold, tells of exactly why we love it so much.

With more features like these, details of the upcoming Land Rover Show at Bath & West, our essential buying guide and much more, we bring you another dose of 100% Landy for FREE with the April issue.

Discover the adventure in you with the March issue of The Landy.

This month we explore predictions for the trends likely to hit Land Rover in 2024. Whether its coloured vinyl wraps or heritage throwbacks in design, we let you know what’s about to be hot or not over the coming year.

We all know that ex-army Landies have a well-earned and frequented place in the Land Rover community, but what about the far rarer Navy equivalent? We talk to civvy owner Ian Stilgoe about his renovated Royal Navy Rover that stands out in the ex-military crowd.

This year’s spring and summer dates for the Great British Land Rover show are here. With fantastic feedback from last year’s events, the 2024 shows promise plenty of attractions and a wide range of exhibitors bound to be real crowd pleasers. Diaries at the ready!

Find out how The Green Lane Association have fought the good fight on behalf of off-roaders in Derbyshire by keeping the well-loved ‘Excelsior’ unsurfaced road open. After some serious digging into historical evidence they have provided yet another example of why a GLASS subscription is well worth every penny.

Do you consider yourself to be an ‘off-roader’ first and a Land Rover owner second? It seems you are not alone. Meet Rob Berekis who’s love of ‘mud and engines’ eventually bought him to off-roading and, by default, made a real Landy convert out of him.

For the latest in new equipment, an exploring look into Land Rover life and the chance to find your own perfect 4-wheel-drive partner in our classified ads, get your copy of the March issue of The Landy today!


The February issue of The Landy is here and it offers to be another informative celebration of the UK’s best loved 4x4!

JLR announce the opening of the pre-order for the fully electric release of the current Range Rover model. With an emphasis on this being a step into ‘modern luxury’, JLR want to reassure potential owners that this SUV will still have full capabilities and be a real ‘workhorse’. 

With February bound to be a freefall into terrible weather should history repeat itself, could this be your moment to shine as a flood-time hero?  Alan Kidd reports on how to be modest in your approach to the job and have your dash cam at the ready for when the opportunity arises.

This month we shine a spotlight on the latest and best equipment available for the Defender and supply all the details to get your hands on tickets for the latest Great British Land Rover Show where suppliers, specialists and enthusiasts alike will gather for a fun filled spring weekend.

The term ‘barn find’ gets thrown around a little too freely in Tom Alderneys opinion (and we must agree!), but when Rob the owner of the Series 1 discovered on a remote farm in the wilds of Italy says his is a barn find, Tom admits there is a fair amount of accreditation to his statement given he found it himself! If you fancy getting your hands on this piece of buried treasure, it can be found on Page 28 for sale!

This month’s issue also happens to be a landmark edition because we dare to mention a 4 x 4 that isn’t a Land Rover! It’s a brief mention admittedly, but when John Pinder and his friend Leigh chose to craft a one-off 110 trayback from a 1950’s series over purchasing a Toyota Land Cruiser, context was deemed necessary.

If you are looking to take on your perfect Landy, this month our Landy Buyer spread offers insights into every series dating back to 1948 with pros and potential foibles listed alongside expected sale price. Everything you need to make a well-informed decision.


Santa may be busy, but Britpart's lorries are even busier delivering our January issue up and down the country. This month’s copy of The Landy includes a review of the Great British Land Rover Show at Stoneleigh and looks to future 2024 events. We also provide the feature piece ‘That’s why dads got to Iceland’, where a family adventure in Iceland aboard a weathered Disco is described as they go exploring for ice caves, whales, hot pools and volcanoes! As always, the new issue does supply you with ‘The Landy Buyer’, where we offer all the information you need – in one place – to buy your perfect Landy. To read the articles, and so much more, make sure to pick up your FREE copy of the Landy today!

In the Winter 2024 edition of The Landy, we deliver a comprehensive brief on a TUM HS GS Soft-Top, or as it is commonly referred to as, a 110 Wolf. Having spent most of its existence at the disposal of the Army in Cyprus, the now civilian owned Landy has since shared the big screen with Nick Fury (Samuel L Jackson) in the Marvel cinematic universe, along with other movies, and TV shows, including The Midwich Cuckoos from last year – not a bad ‘retirement’ then. The current owner has brought the 110 Wolf back to its military best whilst ensuring it is a sound civilian vehicle in its newest incarnation. To read about the history and transformation of this commanding 110 Wolf, don’t miss out on the Winter 2024 issue of The Landy. 
The Winter 2024 issue also offers a rundown of one of the rarest Land Rovers you’ll ever see, in the article ‘Rare Air’. A recent arrival to our classifieds, we review an original 109” Series IIA Pick-Up – complete with the factory-approved Air Drive conversion with PTO-driven compressor. Though in need of some serious elbow grease, this standout Landy is well worth the read. To find out about this incredibly rare Series IIA and so much more, make sure to pick up your copy of The Landy today!

In the December issue of The Landy Magazine, we investigate Land Rover’s long-lasting royal connection; a relationship that has endured since before the Series I first went on sale. Of course, a vast array of royal Landys are distributed globally. Yet, in one of our feature pieces this month, we are able to centre on an impressive selection of some of the best out there through our coverage of this year’s Goodwood Revival. The event took place on the 8th of September, the first anniversary of Queen Elizabeth II’s death. Because of this, Land Rover showcased the greatest number of royal Landys and Range Rovers ever to be gathered in one place, much to our delight. 
Changing gear, away from our piece on royal Landys, in this December’s issue, we offer a wholesome piece about a petrolhead father called Andrew Rogerson, who managed to get his whole family, yes, including his kids, to develop his enthusiasm for off-roading. Already the owner of a Ranger Rover and a Discovery, of which the latter was the first vehicle used to take the kids green laning, Andrew felt he needed a third motor to go on some proper off-roading expeditions with his family. He chose a stunning Defender 90 Td5 XS (in black) to do the job and decided to fit it with all the extras you could wish for. You really won’t want to miss out on getting the lowdown on this impressive Defender. 
As always, by acquiring yourself a copy of this month’s issue of The Landy, you will be grabbing yourself a rigorous rundown on all types of Landy and Range Rover in our feature ‘The Landy Buyer’. This section of the magazine offers you all the information you need – in one place – to buy your perfect Landy. Whether you are after a Series I, Defender 90, Discovery 5, Range Rover Sport, or anything in between, we will have all you need to make an informed decision about purchasing the vehicle right for you. 

Truly individual Range Rover restorations are increasingly rare things, but Jimmy Whitmore’s 1987 Classic is one of a kind. Definitely not done to a formula, it started as a low-miler with what he describes as ‘the hookiest MOT ever’ end emerged from his workshop as a work of engineering to be proud of.

Of course, any good Land Rover is a vehicle to be proud of, even when it’s called Frankenstein. This is the rather unpromising name given to the 100” hybrid which also graces our pages this month. Another truck built to one man’s vision – and another unique work of Landy brilliance.

If you were getting ready for an expedition through the wilds of Africa, what would you choose to do it in? A new Defender, perhaps? A highly prepped old-shape 110, more likely. A Disco, of whatever vintage? A 101 with a camper conversion on the back?

In this month’s issue of The Landy, we’ve got the story of a man who did it in a spluttering Series III he bought for less than a grand. And his verdict on the experience? He’d never do it in anything else. His reasoning makes fascinating reading…

So too does the tale of a true time-warp Disco we’ve unearthed, which is original all the way down to the compass graphics on its doors. A true survivor, and an absolute gem.

There’s a home-built 110 camper with a difference in this issue, too. 
Side lockers are fine things, but when did you last see one opening up to reveal a mobile bar lined up with bottles of gin? Oh, and the red leather interior is definitely not the stuff of your everyday overlander.

As always, we’ve got the latest news in depth, some of the best products on offer for Landies old and new and, as popular as ever, a selection of Land Rovers for sale from private owners.

And best of all, this issue contains a FREE guide to the Great British Land Rover Show at Bath and West on 29-30 July. It’s a new show that promises to become a big fixture in the summer calendar – and all the info you need to know ahead of it is right here in the new issue of The Landy!

You’d think there’s no longer any such thing as a Series I that’s not worth saving. But when Gary Jones was asked to drag an old Land Rover out of someone’s garage, what he found was in such a state that it really was touch and go.

Happily, he did the right thing. And with a new chassis from Richards and a new bulkhead from Pegasus, a late 80” could begin to rise from the wreckage… and start its journey towards the front cover of this month’s issue of The Landy.

RIG Automotive’s latest 130 is the other kind of project, the kind that starts with the best base vehicle you can find and just keeps getting better from there. It’s a lifestyle Defender and also a top-quality mobile home – or perhaps an office you can take with you everywhere you go. And like everything else the company does, it’s stunning to behold.

A Range Rover pick-up that’s been laid up in someone’s yard after years of action as an off-road toy might not be quite as easy on the eye. If you’ve got a sense of fun and you like getting muddy, though, the bobtail featured in The Landy this month is a pretty likely candidate – not least because it also appears in the For Sale ads at the back of the paper! If there’s one thing better than a good Land Rover, it’s a good Land Rover you can buy…

The UK’s only Land Rover newspaper, The Landy covers everything for the Land Rover owner or enthusiast alike, from product reviews, latest news, adventure travel, modifications and conversions, history and unique reader vehicles to admire and inspire you.  If you love Land Rovers, The Landy is the ideal monthly read for you.

The Rover V8 is almost as much of a legend as the vehicles it powered. 
Its time came and went, but after more than 30 years under the bonnets of everything from the Stage 1 to the Vogue LSE it will forever be part of the Land Rover story.

in this month’s bumper issue of The Landy, we’ve looked back at the days when the old Buick design was being readied for use on this side of the Atlantic. With the Range Rover on the way, Solihull’s engineers needed to test the V8 in some sort of vehicle – and the result was a Series IIA that’s now a classic among classics.

Talking of classics, the classic safari trail through Africa is more just than one route. But all of them lead to Tanzania, which is widely held to have the best wildlife in the world. In this month’s issue, we’ve got this leg of a pioneering trans-African expedition aboard, would you believe, an L322 Range Rover.

An equally unusual expedition truck would be one carrying its own electric motorbike and in-vehicle cinema. But RIG Automotive builds Defender 130s like no other – as the glorious lifestyle camper on our front cover demonstrates.

We’ve got the usual news and products updates in this issue too – including a Land Rover that will never leak oil. Yes, there IS a catch…

We didn’t think the day would ever come when we review a vehicle in The Landy that wasn’t built by Land Rover. But then along came the Ineos Grenadier – the truck which is, arguably, more of a Land Rover than anything Land Rover itself has made in the last seven years.

Does this mean you should buy one? You’ll have to read this issue of The Landy to find out. But let’s just say The Grenadier is a spiritual successor to the old Defender in more ways than one…

You could say that hybrids weren’t built by Land Rover either, though obviously in this case it’s a bit different. Equally obviously, buying somebody else’s old one is a minefield – but we’ve got a Series II coiler in this issue which proves that it can be done.

The same could be said for ex-council work trucks, too. Avoid like the plague? Maybe, in the case of a clapped out modern pick-up. But when it’s a 109” Series III that’s already been rebuilt once, you’re on safer ground.

That’s the joy of the old. But did you hear about Land Rover launching a special-edition Range Rover for a quarter of a million quid? Just imagine much of the old tech you could buy with that…


Two very different kinds of camper feature in this month’s issue of The Landy.

One is a 130 ambulance that’s been converted by RIG Automotive into an incredible high-spec luxury home from home. Complete with the latest tech and a slide-out bike carrier – plus its very own bike – it’s a new take on the sort of lifestyle Defenders that are all the rage nowadays.

Then there’s the 110 we found for sale in Scotland, with a demountable camper body fitted out in a charmingly rustic style. Would you believe a log burner with its own demountable flue? And once it’s been demounted, you’re left with a Hi-Cap ready to go into the woods and collect all the logs you’ll ever need. What could be more Land Rover than that?

Elsewhere in this issue, we’ve got a sublime Range Rover which had rotted half to death in the northern wastes of Scandinavia – before being reborn as a thundering resto-modded animal with the heart of a Corvette. What’s not to love?

We’ve got news of a right royal Series I, too, as well as the latest offerings from the world of EV conversions to classic Landies. And, no small thing, the tale of Land Rover drivers giving their time to help keep rights of way open – and we’re not talking about the sort of rights 4x4s are allowed to use. Plus the latest new products, and plenty more besides.

February 1983 marked a pivotal moment in Land Rover’s history – the original introduction of the 110.

Back the, Solihull was coy about whether this was to be a replacement for the 109 or a new model sitting halfway between the Series III and the Range Rover. Forty years on, we know the answer – but looking back at the words of a leading 4x4 journalist at the time, as we are in the February issue of The Landy, makes for fascinating reading…

So too does the 107” pick-up in this issue, not to mention the Macneillie limousine – possibly the one and only example of a stretched Range Rover made by a company better known for armouring them.

Talking of Range Rovers, Project Cassis is a restoration with an emotional background to it. Imagine your dad’s long-lost old motor, the one you learned to drive in, turning out to still be around… but on death’s door. You know what you’d have to do, right?

As always, The Landy also contains the latest news and product stories, vehicles for sale and info for buyers looking for Land Rovers old and new. It’s available free from chosen Britpart stockists – so get your copy today!

Travelling across Africa is a dream for many British Land Rover owners. 
But what when you’re actually from Africa?

The answer is that it’s still the dream. When a Landy specialist from Chartwell, Johannesburg, hit on the idea of restoring a Series III then driving it ‘home’ to Chartwell, Kent, it was the beginning of something very big involving a convoy of seven Landies and a charity auction at one of the UK’s leading salerooms.

Talking of Land Rovers that get around, the Congaree 90 is the latest resto from Legacy Overland. Built in Solihull, worked to near-death in France, reimagined in Connecticut… and every inch a truck to cherish.

We’ve got the story of an ex-military 109, too, that’s a bit of a rarity in that all its MOD history is intact. Plus, at the other end of the scale, Bowler’s new second-generation version of its Defender 90 rally car, wisdom on winter driving and the latest reliability survey to, er, ‘mention’ Land Rover.

As always, too, we’ve got the latest and best products from around the scene – including Britpart’s new air suspension kit for Defenders and the opportunity to buy your kids a 90 for Christmas. Tempting…

In the pages of the December issue of The Landy, you’ll find the official Show Guide for the Great British Land Rover Show, to be held at NAEC Stoneleigh on Sunday 20th November.  Brought to you by the publishers of The Landy, the season-ending show is looking to be bigger and better than ever.

You don’t often see Range Rover Sports being used off-road.  But with the same underpinnings as the Discovery 3, Land Rover’s original premium soft-roader was actually a very capable vehicle – and with a few well chosen mods, we take a look at how it could turn out to be all the lane wagon you’ll ever need…

We’ll also be looking at how a Range Rover Classic can make a smart choice for a lifetime’s motoring and why you might always regret selling your Landy…  Plus, the final batch of 110s from Twisted Automotive’s collection of last-run Defenders gets ready to go on sale, and we have pages of the latest products for you to peruse, including Christmas gift ideas!  We also offer all the information you need in one place to buy your perfect Landy in The Landy Buyer section.

You’ll find all this and more in the pages of our December 2022 issue.

If you thought the Series I was the first Land Rover, think again…

It’s already a quarter of a century since the first Freelander was made. 
And it was the template for everything Land Rover has created ever since. The time will come when the company’s history starts for real in 1997, with those first fifty years of making funny off-road trucks a mere footnote in the tale of a luxury car brand.

You may or may not agree with this, far less like it, but the Freelander was a massively significant part of the Land Rover story. And this month’s Landy contains a feature on what must be one of the very earliest surviving examples – a pre-production model whose purpose in life was to be fawned over by the adoring press.

At the other end of the scale, we’ve got a Discovery 1 rebuilt as a tube-bodied special. Or, if you’re the kind of Land Rover owner who probably drives one of those modern motors the Freelander heralded, how does forking out for a place on one of the world’s ultimate off-road adventures sound? The Rhino Charge is unique – and you could be part of a British team going there next year to compete aboard a very special Landy…


If you’re the sort of Land Rover fan who’s always on the lookout for their next project, there’s a vehicle for sale in the current issue of The Landy that could become the jewel in the crown of your collection.

Any 109” Dormobile is special. But the first one ever produced? Now, that’s a historical marker and no mistake. It’s been stood since 1989 and needs the full works – but with all its fixtures and fittings still in place, and its cupboards full of period items from the 1970s, it’s a future concours winner and no mistake.

Talking of the period accessories that make a truck right, also in this issue is first-run Range Rover In Vogue? Is it complete, we hear you cry? And the answer is yes. If you know your In Vogues, you’ll know it’s not the vehicle itself that we’re referring to here…

At the other end of the evolutionary scale, the electric conversions come thick and fast – and we’ve got the story of the latest. Unlike most, which will cost you more than a new Range Rover, Electrogenic’s is aimed at Defenders which work for their living. Intriguing…

We’ve got news of an adaptor plate for DIY electric conversions, too, should you fancy a bash yourself. All you need is a crashed Nissan Leaf to plunder. Just promise not to buy that old 109” Dormobile and turn it electric, or the classic car people really will have the knives out for you…



This month’s issue of The Landy covers the latest chapter in the electric Land Rover story. It might not be one you like, but it’s not going to go away – and as John Brown 4x4’s new EV conversion for the Series II and III illustrates, there’s no such thing as a Land Rover that’s immune from being dragged into the future.
Mainly, though, we’re enjoying vehicles from the past. A Range Rover 20th Anniversary model, for example, is a rare thing indeed, in part because it was a limited edition but mainly because it was never sold in the UK. 
And while there are plenty of restified 90s and 110s out there, it’s not so usual to find one that’s been ‘lifestyled’ – but without losing its work-truck honesty. A Defender like this is kind of like the aftermarket equivalent of an original 90 SV – cool but not unusable. When you see our cover vehicle, we think you’ll agree.
There’s the usual recipe of Landies for sale, buyers’ info, products and news from around the scene, too. Including a stunning new creation from Bowler – which also fits the ‘cool but not unusable’ description. Especially if you want to use if for trying to catch James Bond…

One of the great things about older Land Rovers is their flexibility. The 109" Series III in the new issue of The Landy, for example, can be a pick-up or a hard-top, or it can be completely open. It's also a perfect example of the other way in which Land Rovers are flexible, too – because when it got old and tired, its owner simply rebuilt it and now it's ready for the next half-century of its life.

Will we be saying the same about the new Defender 130 fifty years from now? Time will tell. But what we know for now is that the new adventure wagon for all the family is a lot different from the 130 of old. Just a smidgeon pricier, too…

This issue also contains the story of a British team bringing home a notable victory in one of Africa's toughest off-road challenges, plus news from every corner of the Land Rover scene.

Restoring Series trucks is often about making them look ‘right’ – as in, as close as possible to the day they left the factory.

But more and more people are adding their own touches, creating leafers with as much individuality as any boutique-spec 90 or 110 – and usually a lot more charm. The 88” Series IIA gracing the cover of this month’s issue of The Landy, for example, was finished off with some absolutely unique touches – including the teak floor from, would you believe, a Sunseeker superyacht.

By contract, a new Discovery might sound a little mundane. Until you drive one, at least. We’ve tested the entry-level D250 model this month – and it makes a very strong case for not spending a penny more than you have to.

There’s a magnificent 300Tdi 90 in this issue, too, which has been restored into an all-terrain camper of the highest order. Or if you fancy the idea of a Land Rover that’ll actually earn you money, as opposed to the other thing, how about a 109” Series III that’s been turned into a mobile bar? Very, very cool – and, at the time of writing, up for sale.

Some people shudder when they see a classic Land Rover that’s not as ‘right’ as possible. Others just appreciate a great truck.
Your view on the 107” Series I Station Wagon in this issue of The Landy will very much depend on which of these camps you’re in. It’s been brought back home after a life of hard work in Australia… then fitted with a Tdi engine, Stage 1 axles, full-syncro box and 265/75R16 tyres on deep-dish rims.
An abomination? Some will say so. But it was restored to be a usable classic, not a collector’s item. As far as we’re concerned, it’s an outstanding example of both.
The modified Td5 90 in this issue is an outstanding example of something else, which is how easily a Defender can get under your skin. Its owner only bought it to carry him mountain bike around… but next thing he knew, it had turned into a self-propelled Terrafirma catalogue.
There’s news of Land Rover fans rallying round to help medics in Ukraine, too, as well as a revolutionary new way of cleaning rusty chassis and body parts without damaging them in the process. And we have an appreciation of the life of Tony Gilroy, ‘the man who saved Land Rover’ and the genius behind the creation of the Discovery. A hero indeed.

The Landy is 100 issues old this month. And to celebrate, we’ve taken a look back at the stories that were making the news when we first launched.

Sadly, our main headline was about the latest attempt by anti-vehicle haters to have Land Rovers banned from Britain’s green lanes. And the main headline this month, too? The same story, the same haters, the same lies, you name it.

Elsewhere, back in 2014 Land Rover had a simple message for its fans who were worried about what the new Defender was going to be like: tough. 
Design boss Gerry McGovern made a hard-hitting speech saying traditionalists might not like it, but they were going to have to lump it.

We told the story of the North Somerset Land Rover Club’s £1000 donation to the Green Lane Association’s fighting fund, too. And we dug up what must have been the cheapest ever Wolf – a 90 with a price tag of just £2500. There was, of course, a catch…

Other classic features revived from back in Issue 1 include a beautifully restored Series II with a modern twist going on beneath its bonnet and a bobtailed Range Rover built by a professional engineer who wanted to show the world how it should be done. And still in the mood to celebrate, we’ve taken a look back at the 110 the team at Arkonik built to mark a milestone of their own – whose interior is still perhaps the coolest we’ve ever seen in a Land Rover.

There’s plenty of current stuff in this month’s Landy as well, of course, from restos to rally reports. And most of all, this issue contains your FREE guide to the Great British Land Rover Show at Newark on 1 May – which, in the first full show season since 2019, is reason enough to celebrate on its own!

Back in the day, loads of people cut up Series Is to make off-road specials of one kind or another. The number of precious classics we lost this way is beyond imagination, but one thing is for sure: everybody who did it wishes they could undo it again.

Well, almost everybody. There’s a 1955 86” in this issue of The Landy with a Ford V6 engine, Series III gearbox, steering and axles, parabolic springs and fat mud-terrain tyres.

Ruined? You might consider it so, yes, depending on your view of what a classic Land Rover should be. But this one’s owner must have had a crystal ball – because next to it in his garage are all the original parts he took off back in the day, ready for when someone wants to turn it back into a matching-numbers original.

Where Series Is have gone, so might 90s and 110s one day. Or have they already? Most people seem to be turning them into blinged-up street machines now – but we’ve also got a feature on one that’s been modded the traditional way as a green lane weapon and general off-road toy. 
It’s good to know people like that still exist.

It’s also good to know that there are people out there who see a desert race for classic 4x4s as an opportunity to make the most of their Series trucks and early Range Rovers. There were a good many Solihull products entered in this year’s Dakar Classic, from several different nations – though none of them was Britain. See that as a challenge, y’all…

Our green lane guide in the Lake District is a challenge too, albeit a much more gentle one. Gentler and cheaper, too. Though everything’s cheap in comparison to the new Range Rover SV – care to take a guess at how much you can spend on one of these personalised luxury Landies? The answer is within this issue of The Landy… and as always, so too is a lot more besides!

The ‘rat’ look is very popular in some corners of car culture. Not so much when it comes to Land Rovers, though.
Perhaps that’s because so many Landies end up looking ratty by default that doing it on purpose would seem to be a bit contrary. But there’s a fine line between nastily ratty and beautifully patinated – and the Series IIA on the front cover of this month’s Landy is a perfect illustration of why you shouldn’t be too quick to restore the character out of an old truck. 
It has, as they say in the adverts, had all the hard work done. And now it looks just fabulously cool. Its owners use it mainly as a beach wagon, too. And what could be more car-culture than that?!
Elsewhere in this issue we have two 110s - one, a premium rebuild that’s both elegant and hard as nails, the other a superbly appointed motorhome with everything a person could want for off-grid living. Everything but the kitchen sink? Nope, got one of those…
We’ve got the story of an expedition into the mountains of Africa to hang out with gorillas, too. Scary? A little. But not as scary as the pot holes, especially when you’re doing it in an L322 Rangey on 19” rims…
Our North Norfolk green lane guide is a lot closer to home and the wildlife is not as exotic, but it’s an entertaining day out nonetheless. And our monthly news and products sections include all the usual updates on this, that and the other – including a unique triumph for the new Defender. It’s all in the March issue of The Landy – get your copy today!

Land Rover only made the Lightweight for military customers. But how would a civvy one have looked? This month’s issue of The Landy features a hard-top whose owner reckons it might be the answer.

We’ve also got a unique Range Rover TD5 this month. Yes, you read that right. A late four-door, it’s been completely restored… around the entire powertrain from a Disco 2. And it’s probably got most of its life still ahead of it.

Elsewhere in this issue, news of resurgent sales from Land Rover’s dealerships as the global microchip shortage starts to ease, and a celebratory Defender 90 from Bowler – as well as best practice in green lane stewardship in the Lake District, the latest and best new products and, er, creme brûlée. Land Rovers go anywhere in more ways than one…
