British Leyland - The Cars, 1968-1986

In 1968, British Leyland was formed by merging most of Britain's car manufacturers to create a strong, unified group capable of competing with major European companies. However, this goal was not achieved.

Many books have explored the politics and business aspects of British Leyland, but "British Leyland - The Cars, 1968-1986" focuses specifically on the vehicles produced by the company. It covers both inherited models and those developed under its management.

During its 18 years, British Leyland produced a wide range of vehicles, often leading to confusion about their origins. This book clarifies which models were made, by whom, and when.

The book stops at 1986, the year British Leyland ceased to exist. What remained of its car and light commercial vehicle division was renamed the Rover Group.

Land Rover Emergency Vehicles

An historic and nostalgic look at the role of the Land Rover in the emergency services over the last 70 years. Land Rover products have been used by the emergency services almost from the moment the first model left the factory in 1948.
The agility and size of these vehicles made them an immediate hit with fire services, where they initially became popular as factory fire tenders.

Police forces were also attracted by the cross-country ability and versatility of Land Rovers, especially outside Britain, and, when long-wheelbase models provided extra space, they also became favourites for ambulance conversions.
Some emergency-service conversions required very little adaptation, and were carried out in the workshops of the end-users. Others - such as six-wheel Range Rover fire tenders - required major alterations from the factory-standard vehicle. Meanwhile, specialist companies developed dedicated ambulance and fire tender bodywork, creating a fascinating variety of body types.

The Complete Catalogue of Land Rover Conversions & Accessories

NUOVO

The Land Rover was launched in 1948 as a simple, adaptable vehicle that could serve many purposes. The first example shown publicly, at the Amsterdam Motor Show in April 1948, had already been modified into a mobile welder.

Over time, many companies created specialist versions of the Land Rover for different tasks. This raised concerns about whether Land Rover could honour the warranty on vehicles altered by others. In response, the company introduced an approval scheme. Conversions that met Land Rover's standards were tested and officially approved, ensuring continued warranty cover.
Despite this, some conversions were made and sold without approval, and buyers accepted the risks. Together, these approved and unapproved conversions created a wide variety of vehicles. Today, these hold strong interest for collectors and enthusiasts.

This book aims to list and describe these many adaptations. While not exhaustive, it is the most detailed illustrated catalogue on the subject to date. It includes images from original makers and current examples still in use.
Written by a recognised expert, this book offers useful background and identification help. It is an essential reference for anyone interested in Land Rover history and the wide range of converted models it inspired.

Landy Love - since 1948 (English Edition)

Could Maurice Wilks and his team of developers in Solihull have known in 1948, what their invention would mean for automotive humanity? Since then, the Land Rover has not only driven all over Great Britain, on endless dirt roads, and through deserts, mud and snow - no, it has also found a place deep in the hearts of its owners.

This book has collected some of the best Landy stories, which could hardly be more different from each other. And even though - or perhaps even because - the iconic vehicle is no longer officially in production, the spirit of the Land Rover Defender will live on. Not least because of the fans that drive it, own it and love it.

Land Rover, un art de vivre

The ultimate off-road vehicle, born in 1948 and built until 1983, with 4 generations of models, the Land Rover was a great success with farmers, the British army, various emergency services around the world and even Queen Elizabeth. With its split windscreen, square lines and large round headlights, it could accommodate 3 people in the front (provided the middle passenger agreed to operate the gear lever!)
The Land Rover quickly became the vehicle for adventurers, allowing them to reach the most difficult access points, snowy and icy roads, muddy terrain, sandy tracks, marshy moors... Braving the various obstacles, not shying away from demanding environments, the Land Rover is the queen of 4x4s.

This book takes us to meet about thirty Land Rover owners, making us travel around the world (India, France, United States, Austria, Germany, Britain, Iceland, Cuba, South Africa, Scotland...). Magnificent landscapes, unusual and fascinating photos, here is a beautiful book that makes us meet these lovers of their Land Rover...
