The Landy Magazine

29 September 2020

Late Defenders with the 2.4 TDC Puma diesel engine don't feature very often in restoration stories. By and large, they're too new to need it. But when Adam Lilley found a 110 that was mechanically excellent but cosmetically horrible, he knew exactly what to do. He breathed new life into the middle-aged farm hack – and a bit more besides. With a skifully carried off Heritage look, this is an eye-catching Landy – and with a totally original six-seat arrangement with three forward-facing rows of two, it a unique one too. Also unique, but a lot less subtle, is the LS3-engined Range Rover Classic which recently emerged from the workshop at Legacy Overland. The American company knows how to make old 4x4s more desirable than ever – and in the case of this rare late two-door, it's also one hell of a street sleeper. Talking of Range Rovers, there aren't many unexplored places left in the world. But the north-south crossing of Africa had never been undertaken by an L322 before – until Raymond and Nereide Greaves turned up. The introductory part of their story is in this issue of The Landy. We've also got an expanded products section, the latest news from the Land Rover scene, part of a workshop trilogy on changing a rear crossmember and the usual selection of rare and special Land Rovers for sale.
