Book Review: Land Rover Buying and Selling Manual: How to do the best deals

"Land Rover Buying and Selling Manual: How to do the best deals" is somewhat United Kingdom centric but still has great advice for buying and selling a Land Rover regardless of where you live. It has lots of full color pictures. It would be great to see an update to cover online selling resources, but overall this is an excellent book and will be very helpful to you when buying or selling a Land Rover. Read more »

Book Review: First Overland: London-Singapore by Land Rover

Originally published in 1957, this book is an entertaining account of the first overland motorized trip from London to Singapore. In 1955, five students from Cambridge and one from Oxford set out in two Land Rovers and made it all the way from London to Singapore. One of the students, Tim Slessor, wrote the book and another, Antony Barrington Brown, did photography and filmwork for the book and a BBC production.
A very entertaining read - I could not recommend it more highly. Best travel book of any kind I have ever read, and I have read many. Read more »

Video: Tierra Del Fuego Camel Trophy 1998
The 1998 Camel Trophy was rather a departure from previous Camel Trophies. For one, there was little emphasis on extreme four-wheel driving, and much emphasis on navigation and geolocation. For two, the contestants each had two vehicles - a Land Rover Freelander, and a Defender 110 that followed behind packing the equipment. Seems like a forerunner of the flavor of the G4 Challenge to come later than a real Camel Trophy event. Read more »

Book Review: Land Rover: The Incomparable 4x4 from Series 1 to Defender

At only 128 pages, I feel author Paul Woods was really only getting started on his subject matter with his book "Land Rover The incomparable 4x4 from Series 1 to Defender." If you want to get every Land Rover book out there, then this one has value. But there are other general Land Rover guides that are cheaper and more comprehensive. It does have some excellent old Land Rover photos I have never seen elsewhere. Read more »
