The Series Land Rover was conceived as a utility vehicle for farmers;
one that could be repaired and maintained with the minimum of specialist
tools. The early models rapidly built up a worldwide reputation for
rugged cross country capability that led to them not only to great
success in the agricultural industry, but also to being adopted by
police forces in at least 37 countries as well as emergency services in
the UK and abroad. The book describes the step-by-step development of
the marque, so you are aware of each model's individual strengths and
weaknesses. Choose your preferred model, then be professionally guided
through important aspects of the retail market, with clear instructions
on where and how to check for specific potential problems before you
buy. Evaluate and score your potential purchase against an exhaustive
checklist, learn how to test-drive it with confidence, and be forewarned
about running and maintenance costs. The book also details the Land
Rover community from clubs to specialists. With over 100 colour
photographs carefully integrated into the concise and informative text,
this really is like having a marque expert beside you when viewing a
potential purchase.
