The July issue of The Landy is now out! You’d think there’s no longer any such thing as a Series I that’s not worth saving. But when Gary Jones was asked to drag an old Land Rover out of someone’s garage, what he found was in such a state that it really was touch and go. Happily, he did the right thing. And with a new chassis from Richards and a new bulkhead from Pegasus, a late 80” could begin to rise from the wreckage… and start its journey towards the front cover of this month’s issue of The Landy. RIG Automotive’s latest 130 is the other kind of project, the kind that starts with the best base vehicle you can find and just keeps getting better from there. It’s a lifestyle Defender and also a top-quality mobile home – or perhaps an office you can take with you everywhere you go. And like everything else the company does, it’s stunning to behold. A Range Rover pick-up that’s been laid up in someone’s yard after years of action as an off-road toy might not be quite as easy on the eye. If you’ve got a sense of fun and you like getting muddy, though, the bobtail featured in The Landy this month is a pretty likely candidate – not least because it also appears in the For Sale ads at the back of the paper! If there’s one thing better than a good Land Rover, it’s a good Land Rover you can buy… Subscribe to The Landy here through the link in our bio🔗 #TheLandy #TheLandyMagazine #JulyIssue

User evidence sought in the fight to protect byway status for Blind Lane. Blind Lane is an unclassified adopted highway near Grindleford in Derbyshire. Also known as Excelsior, it was the subject of a Definitive Map Modification Order claim some years ago – which Derbyshire County Council has been investigating ever since. Having established the facts of the route’s history and usage, the authority recently confirmed that sure enough, it should be recorded as a Byway Open to All Traffic – giving official recognition to its status as a right of way to motor vehicles once and for all.

When it was discovered, this Series I was right on the brink. To restore it, or to break it for parts? That was the painful question. Happily, its new owner decided he had a project in him.

Inverted joins the electric Range Rover market. A regeneration specialist’ sounds like a company that puts together deludedly wealthy people and cryogenic tanks. In fact, it’s a company that puts together wealthy people with electrified classic vehicles. In this case, #001 is a Range Rover. The world seems awash with companies ‘reimagining’ or in this case ‘regenerating’ high-end vehicles but there’s no doubt the market is there among the 1%. They’re buying luxury and moral purity – plus they can drive them to their offices in The City without any worries. Plus it’s a way of stopping some venerable old delights, like early Range Rovers, being consigned to the great rustheap in the sky! Read more in the July issue! Follow the link in our bio🔗

The only problem is that if the timing is wrong, you end up taking it home and restoring it.
