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.

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?

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…
