Gripping archive images of the 4x4 pioneer presented in a fresh and stylish design. The original Land Rover evolved for almost seventy years, from the ground breaking Series I model in 1948 to the final Defender in 2016. Now there is a totally new Defender for the 2020s. Land Rover charts the history of the authentic bloodline in striking, carefully compiled and, in some instances, very rare photographs. It presents the memorable mileposts ? and bizarre diversions ? in an astonishingly long life. This is a rich visual tribute to the genius and guts of these legendary vehicles.
