The Landy - October 2022

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…

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…
