To some, the Land Rover is an overblown Chelsea Tractor only suitable for the countryside & not for urbanites to show off their wealth & status. To others, the Land Rover is an essential vehicle which gave birth to the domestic four wheel drive. In hardback, the Little Book of Land Rover takes a trip down memory lane & remembers the models that drove their way into the Nation's hearts. Foreword by motoring historian Stephen Vokins, archivist at the National Motor Museum, Beaulieu, & one of the foremost authorities on the story of the legendary marque. Launched in 1948 the Land Rover had some unexpected owners including King George VI & Winston Churchill & once the British Army embraced it as their vehicle of choice, the Land Rover s place in motoring s hall of fame was secured The story started with the Series 1, but the family expanded with the arrival of the Range Rover, Defender, Discovery & Freelander not to mention the purpose-built variations for the military & emergency services. This is a fantastic 128-page hardback book celebrating one of the most iconic motoring brands in the world. It celebrated its 60th anniversary in 2008.
