Land Rover Discovery: libri - storia e modelli

You & Your Land Rover Discovery - Buying, enjoying, maintaining, modifying

Introduced in 1989 in the campaign to repel the Japanese 4x4 invasion, the Discovery opened up a whole new market for Land Rover, creating its own niche halfway between the traditional rough and ready Land Rover off-roader and the upmarket Range Rover cruiser.
Its reputation as a rugged workhorse both on- and off-road has ensured that the Discovery has remained one of the world's best-selling 4x4s since its introduction.

Extensive model history, advice on purchase, use, maintenance and modifications. Also specifications, model changes and production numbers. Entirely in colour.

Land Rover Discovery - The Story of the First Generation Models, 1989-1998

NUOVO

Since its launch in 1989, the first-generation Land Rover Discovery has become a lasting icon with a strong international following. While many books focus on buying advice, this volume explains why the Discovery was created, how it was developed, and how it influenced Land Rover's future.

In the early 1980s, Land Rover faced falling sales and strong competition from lower-cost Japanese family 4x4s. These rivals followed the Range Rover idea but were far more affordable. Land Rover needed a quick and effective response.
The answer was the Discovery, a mid-market SUV developed under tight deadlines and new internal methods. Introduced in 1989, it was an immediate success, became a European best-seller, and restored Land Rover's position worldwide. It soon became central to the brand and set the path for later generations.

The Discovery also changed Land Rover's image. The brand moved from pure utility vehicles toward premium, family-oriented 4x4s. Together with the Range Rover, it reshaped public perception and supported global growth.

This book presents the full story of the original Discovery, covering design, production, sales, and worldwide use, supported by rare and informative images.
