The Landy - September 2022

Bu sayıda

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…
