The Landy Magazine

31 May 2022

Restoring Series trucks is often about making them look ‘right’ – as in, as close as possible to the day they left the factory. But more and more people are adding their own touches, creating leafers with as much individuality as any boutique-spec 90 or 110 – and usually a lot more charm. The 88” Series IIA gracing the cover of this month’s issue of The Landy, for example, was finished off with some absolutely unique touches – including the teak floor from, would you believe, a Sunseeker superyacht. By contract, a new Discovery might sound a little mundane. Until you drive one, at least. We’ve tested the entry-level D250 model this month – and it makes a very strong case for not spending a penny more than you have to. There’s a magnificent 300Tdi 90 in this issue, too, which has been restored into an all-terrain camper of the highest order. Or if you fancy the idea of a Land Rover that’ll actually earn you money, as opposed to the other thing, how about a 109” Series III that’s been turned into a mobile bar? Very, very cool – and, at the time of writing, up for sale.
