Synopsis

There has rarely been a British success story like the Land-Rover. Developed in a short time and on a small budget, it was launched in 1948 and having passed though many revisions is still a world leader today. The  Series detailed in this book take us from the beginning to 1985, and the many surviving examples, supported by a comprehensive parts and restoration industry, are seeing a solid increase in values. Here James Taylor, the premier historian of the marque, provides a detailed study of the Land-Rover's evolution through the period and the variants and special-purpose versions that were produced. Uniquely, it is the manufacturer's own sales brochures and advertising that supply the illustrations, which number some 400 and serve not only to correctly depict the vehicles but also to re-create the atmosphere of the times when they were made.

À propos de l?auteur

James Taylor is a well-known writer in various automotive fields, but his speciality for more than 30 years has been Land Rover and Rover history. Many of the 80 or so books he has written have focussed on Land Rover, Range Rover and related subjects, and since 2000 he has been the Editor of Land Rover Enthusiast magazine. Some of his books have appeared in foreign languages, and his own linguistic ability has seen him translate other books from German and French. He lives in rural Oxfordshire with his wife, the younger two of his four children, and a collection of cars and four-wheel-drives that is heavily biased in favour of the old Rover Company.
