The Landy Magazine

26 January 2021

The Series III County Station Wagon was the original lifestyle Land Rover. You can decide for yourself whether this is a point in its favour or a blot on its copybook – but either way, it turned out to be a far more significant vehicle than anyone could have imagined back when it was new. In the latest issue of The Landy, we’re featuring one of the very first CSWs to be built. It’s so early, in fact, that it was photographed for Land Rover’s sales brochure – before going on to be one of ten vehicles used in the press launch. You might say it’s got a lot to answer for – but either way, this is a real piece of Solihull history. We’ve got a spectacularly restored 90 Tdi in this issue, too, as well as a 110 from the same era that’s been turned into something very special indeed. Running portal axles, agri tyres and hydraulic steering, it’s definitely not standard any more – yet it’s also a low-mileage original on a recently fitted galvanised chassis. That’s a whole lot of potential, we think you’ll agree… There’s another 110 Tdi in The Landy this month, too, in the shape of Arkonik’s latest masterpiece. And on the subject of masterpieces, imagine driving an L322 Range Rover all the way to Khartoum then coming face to face with another one – whose owner asks if you can help him fix it. We’ve got an expanded classifieds section this month, too, with more Land Rovers for sale than ever, as well as the usual bustling news and products pages.
