The Landy Magazine

30 June 2020

When you’re restoring a tired Land Rover, it can be very tempting to spice it up with a few new flourishes of your own. All well and good if it’s not a rarity – but when Hereford 4x4 came upon a very early 90 that was mechanically original but needed a full resto, they knew better than to mess with it. The result was a superbly presented Land Rover that’s all the more perfect by still having the correct steel wheels and bonnet-mounted spare – not to mention its original naturally aspirated 2.5 diesel. It’s a thing of beauty – and a fitting vehicle to grace the front cover of this month’s Landy! Elsewhere, we’re looking at another kind of rare breed – G4 Challenge Freelanders. Our workshop feature, meanwhile, follows the story as a Discovery 2 gains a heavy-duty front bumper – and in the world of travel, we’ve got the latest from a couple whose expedition through Africa took an unexpected twist when Covid-19 came along. If you’re ridiculously rich, we’ve also got the story of a genuine Spectre 110 which is currently up for sale. An original Range Rover In Vogue might be more appealing, especially as it won’t set you back almost a quarter of a million quid, and we’ve got news of that too.
