The Landy - March 2022

In dit nummer

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!
