Land Rover: The Incomparable 4x4 from Series 1 to Defender (Ludvigsen Library) One of the world's most versatile and engaging vehicles is celebrated in this Ludvigsen Library book. Conceived by Maurice Wilks of the Rover Motor Company as Britain's answer to the ubiquitous Jeep, the Land-Rover made its bow in 1948. In accord with Wilk's desires it was more versatile than the Jeep, making it the ideal farming and countryside vehicle — perhaps the first-ever sport-utility. An explosion of different body styles and wheelbase lengths soon enriched the range of this popular off-roader, as did diesel and even V-8 engines. The Series 2 version was introduced in 1958 and the Series 3 in 1971. Special forward-control and military versions only increased the range of tasks this amazing vehicle could accomplish. The original Land-Rover rolls on into the 21st Century, now styled as the Defender. Rare and original photos from the Ludvigsen Library and Marshall of Cambridge depict the evolution of this globe-girdling 4x4 over half a century, amplified by an introduction by ""Landie"" expert Paul Woods. |

The Land Rover: 60 Years of the 4x4 Workhorse The Land Rover has become an icon right across the world, famed for its classic design, its practicality and its longevity - the direct ancestors of the first Land Rover of 1948 are still being produced as the 'Defender'. Its sixty years of development are lovingly and accurately charted in this most comprehensive of all "Land Rover" books, the first one ever to look at the total story. |

Land Rover: 60 Years of Adventure The 60th anniversary of Land Rover occurs in 2008. The original Series 1 Land Rover was unveiled in 1948 and the utilitarian Defender models are still instantly recognisable as relatives of the original. The Land Rover range has also expanded over the years to elevate the Solihull marque to a premium brand in the automotive market place, the latest Range Rover models providing palatial luxury while still providing unbeatable off-road performance. This beautifully produced book tells the full story of all Land Rover models through a wealth of stunning colour images, many previously unpublished. |

The lush pictorial data is interwoven with a rich historical and product narrative from former Land Rover manager and motoring journalist, Mike Gould. As a key member of Land Rover's sales, marketing and PR team for over 30 years, Gould is well-placed to offer fresh insights into the company's business policy and design decisions.His honesty, passion and genuine affection for Land Rover make this work a unique record not only of the marque but of the personalities and products that built the business. |

Classic 4 X 4s (Illustrated Buyer's... Paperback 192 pages (November 1, 1997) # Publisher: SOS Free Stock Not too many years ago, the best fate an old 4x4 could hope for was to be heavily modified and then driven over virtually impossible trails until a more final death occured. Imagine how old Doc Frankenstein's monster felt! In the past few years, a new possibility emerged - restoration and life as a highly prized collectable. Where classic cars have long been, where muscle cars are now, where trucks in general have recently come, 4x4s now enter. Beyond the military rigs, which have long been popular in their own genre, "classic" 4x4s are now attracting people who want to collect, own and restore them as something new and different. I put "Classic 4x4s" together in an effort to supply some guidance for this new direction in automotive collecting. The book has a lot of scope but not nearly as much as I had material to cover. The origins and development of four-wheel drive has long been an abiding interest with me. My hope is that the next time you see a tired old 4x4 languishing in the weeds, you'll see a gleaming restoration in your mind's eye rather than a trail monster. Thanks for your interest! Jim Allen |
