The Landy - April 2026

In dit nummer

🚙 The April 2026 issue of The Landy is out now!

Inside this month’s magazine, a rebuilt “basket-case” Series III takes on – and wins – the Dakar Classic, as Karolis Raišys’ 109 beats the V8 Range Rovers in a remarkable desert victory.

We cover the inaugural Defender Awards, where the Thousand Year Trust is recognised for its Cornwall Rainforest Project restoring 10,000 acres of Bodmin Moor and planting 1.28 million native trees, alongside other global winners making an impact across Land, Wild, Humanity and Sea.

There’s a true collector’s piece in the shape of a three-door 1989 Discovery 1 from the first few months of production, finished in Coralin Red with its iconic blue Conran-era interior and showing barely 55,000 miles – now offered for sale by JLR Classic.

One of Britain’s best-known expedition Defenders, Ruby the Landy – a 1994 Defender 110 County Station Wagon driven across Morocco and the Americas by Jen Bright and Gavin Lowrie – is up for sale, while in News the Green Lane Association wins a High Court challenge quashing an Experimental Traffic Regulation Order on Sandy Lane in Bedfordshire.

Add in the latest products and workshop features, from reproduction Series III Lightweight seat boxes to Defender front seats from Heritage 1948, plus wheels, tyres and upgrades, and you’ve got another packed issue covering News, Vehicles, Adventure, Workshop and Buyers.
