The Landy - February 2024

In this issue

The February issue of The Landy is here and it offers to be another informative celebration of the UK’s best loved 4x4!

JLR announce the opening of the pre-order for the fully electric release of the current Range Rover model. With an emphasis on this being a step into ‘modern luxury’, JLR want to reassure potential owners that this SUV will still have full capabilities and be a real ‘workhorse’.

With February bound to be a freefall into terrible weather should history repeat itself, could this be your moment to shine as a flood-time hero? Alan Kidd reports on how to be modest in your approach to the job and have your dash cam at the ready for when the opportunity arises.

This month we shine a spotlight on the latest and best equipment available for the Defender and supply all the details to get your hands on tickets for the latest Great British Land Rover Show where suppliers, specialists and enthusiasts alike will gather for a fun filled spring weekend.

The term ‘barn find’ gets thrown around a little too freely in Tom Alderneys opinion (and we must agree!), but when Rob the owner of the Series 1 discovered on a remote farm in the wilds of Italy says his is a barn find, Tom admits there is a fair amount of accreditation to his statement given he found it himself! If you fancy getting your hands on this piece of buried treasure, it can be found on Page 28 for sale!

This month’s issue also happens to be a landmark edition because we dare to mention a 4 x 4 that isn’t a Land Rover! It’s a brief mention admittedly, but when John Pinder and his friend Leigh chose to craft a one-off 110 trayback from a 1950’s series over purchasing a Toyota Land Cruiser, context was deemed necessary.

If you are looking to take on your perfect Landy, this month our Landy Buyer spread offers insights into every series dating back to 1948 with pros and potential foibles listed alongside expected sale price. Everything you need to make a well-informed decision.

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.
