The Landy Magazine - April 2023

In this issue

We didn’t think the day would ever come when we review a vehicle in The Landy that wasn’t built by Land Rover. But then along came the Ineos Grenadier – the truck which is, arguably, more of a Land Rover than anything Land Rover itself has made in the last seven years.

Does this mean you should buy one? You’ll have to read this issue of The Landy to find out. But let’s just say The Grenadier is a spiritual successor to the old Defender in more ways than one…

You could say that hybrids weren’t built by Land Rover either, though obviously in this case it’s a bit different. Equally obviously, buying somebody else’s old one is a minefield – but we’ve got a Series II coiler in this issue which proves that it can be done.

The same could be said for ex-council work trucks, too. Avoid like the plague? Maybe, in the case of a clapped out modern pick-up. But when it’s a 109” Series III that’s already been rebuilt once, you’re on safer ground.

That’s the joy of the old. But did you hear about Land Rover launching a special-edition Range Rover for a quarter of a million quid? Just imagine much of the old tech you could buy with that…

The Landy Magazine Description:

Winter is upon us with its Baltic climes, treacherously icy lanes and the coolest issue on The Landy calendar hitting festively wreathed front doorsteps.

Theo James, his dog and a myriad of other random props at a seriously questionable location make up the new Range Rover Sport’s advertisement, so we poke at the ‘quirky British’ theme it boasts before heading to the first Yorkshire Hill Rally to see who dominated the leading places.

(Motor)Home is where the heart is. Or at least it was for Footloose 4x4 who created the Sherazee, a bespoke overlanding conversion that features from page 15 and who have inspired many more similar conversions. If you’re feeling like a walk down memory lane, find Rogue Vogue in our blast-from-past article detailing the life and times of this vibrant vehicle and its creator.

With our ever-reliable buyers guide, new updates from JLR and reviews of the latest accessories created to make Land Rover life even better, the Winter issue of The Landy has arrived to keep your off-road fire burning.
