SUMMER IS LANDY TIME!
The sun’s shining and there’s no better time for getting out and exploring in your Land Rover
Sales of Land Rovers always peak in winter, when a big, dependable 4x4 suddenly (and quite rightly) seems a sensible option. The Land Rover truly is the vehicle for all seasons, and all reasons, but to my mind it comes into its own in summer. After all, there is no better vehicle for adventure, whether it’s a jaunt to the seaside or an expedition halfway around the world.
With the clocks going forward, and the warm, brighter evenings just round the corner, we couldn’t resist a summer theme for this issue. Inside you’ll see how easy it is to convert a Defender into a soft top (starting on page 44). alternatively, if you prefer to keep a lid on it, you could always explore the Dormobile option (page 52).
Of course, it doesn’t have to be a Defender. On page 60 we feature a young man who has turned his Discovery 2 into an incredibly capable expedition vehicle, in which he and his partner are heading overland to Catalonia this summer.
And if you think that’s impressive, how about the couple on page 210 who have converted their Discovery 1 and about to set off from Daventry to Cape Town!
If you’re looking for an adventure closer to home, you might like to consider greenlaning in Northumberland. Find out more, starting on page 80.
The warmer months are also a great time to work outdoors on your Land Rover, so don’t miss our bumper 26-page technical section to give you a few ideas on how to improve your vehicle.
Whatever you drive and whatever you do, enjoy this month’s action-packed LRM. Happy Land Rovering!
