Heritage on Wheels
On 29 January 2016, the last Land Rover Defender left the factory in Solihull, UK - a Defender 90 Soft Top in Heritage trim. It rolled straight into the Jaguar Land Rover Collection exhibition. This marked the end of an unprecedented success story, as the most original of all Land Rover models was produced in series for 68 years. Developed in 1948 for agricultural use, word quickly spread about the robustness of the four-wheel drive. That's why demand never waned and there were always new variants and engines. Today, 75 percent of all Landys ever built are still on the road - worldwide, of course. In this declaration of love for the British classic, there are portraits of all Land Rover generations and their particularly passionate owners. Magnificent, newly taken photos and sympathetic texts guarantee pure pleasure from the first to the last page. And you learn how versatile a car can be - from a vineyard in South Africa to the urban jungle in Germany to a globetrotting motorhome in India. Fascinating Landy love stories from all over the world.
