Land Rover 90, 110 en Defender: boeken - historie

Land Rover One Ten and Ninety Specification Guide

This book is designed to give guidance on the original, ex-factory, specifications of the coil-sprung utility Land Rovers built between 1983 and 1990. Known to Land Rover as stage 2 models, they were sold as the Land Rover One Ten, Ninety and (later) One Two Seven.

James Taylor has taken the first step in undertaking detailed research into the Stage 2 models, and putting together all the known facts in one place.
Topics covered include vehicle identification; specification changes in detail; options, accessories and special equipment; conversions and, finally, promotional material.

Defender - Land Rover's Legendary Off-roader

Known around the globe as an icon of British engineering, the Land Rover Defender is the ultimate off-roader that has delighted owners for generations. Combining military utility with classic and distinctive design, the Defender had been a ubiquitous presence on the automobile scene since its release more than half a century ago.

But 68 years since the first model came on the market, the production line came to a halt in January 2016. This presents the perfect opportunity to look back over the Land Rover's history, from its first iteration as a utility vehicle in 1948, to the 21st Century special editions.

Landy fans and petrol-heads alike will love "Land Rover Defender", a highly illustrated collection of classic and limited edition models, filled with specs, stats, and images of Defenders both at home and abroad.

Mike Gould worked at Land Rover and its predecessor companies for more than 30 years - a career that included many years when he was responsible for the Land Rover and Defender model lines. As Brand Manager he was in charge of the product when the Defender name was introduced and laid the foundations for the more leisure orientated variants that expanded the model's potential and became so popular.
His time at Land Rover also encompassed a period as Marketing Manager for Special Vehicles and as UK Public Relations Manager.

Land Rover Defender, 90 and 110 Range - 30 Years of the Coil-Sprung 4x4 Models

When Land Rover switched from leaf springs to coil springs for their utility models in 1983, it was a major step forward. The first coil-sprung model, the One Ten, replaced the Series III 109s. The short-wheelbase Ninety replaced the Series III 88s in 1984. From 1990, the models were all re-branded as Land Rover Defenders - 90, 110 and 140 - as the Land Rover range expanded and the marketing teams wanted a new name.

This book charts the evolution of the coil-sprung Defender vehicles. Topics covered include:
- Origins of the coil-sprung Land Rovers
- Development and production of the Ninety, One Ten and One Two Seven
- The Defender 90, 110 and 130
- Special conversions and Defenders built outside the UK, including in Australia and South Africa
- Military and emergency service use of the Defender
- Detailed examinations of engines and engineering, and the focus on diesel power.

Der neue Land Rover Defender

Seit über 70 Jahren zählt der klassische Land Rover, der seit 1990 Defender hiess und zuletzt bis Anfang 2016 gebaut wurde, zu den Klassikern der Automobilgeschichte. Gespannt wartet die Welt auf die Neuauflage eines Fahrzeugs, das im Busch genauso zu Hause ist wie im Grossstadtdschungel.
In diesem Herbst ist es so weit. Wieder handelt es sich um eine Modellfamilie, die vielen Bedürfnissen gerecht werden muss - und werden wird.

Während sich der britische Hersteller vor der Premiere eisern in Schweigen hüllt, gewährte er dem Autorenteam vorab tiefe Einblicke in die Entwicklung: Crathorne, Pfannmüller und Schmidt verbindet eine jahrzehntelange Markenkenntnis, die ihnen viele Türen geöffnet hat.
Gleichzeitig begleiten sie die Entstehung des komplett neu entwickelten Defender mit jener Kompetenz und kritischen Distanz, die schon ihre früheren Titel ausgezeichnet und Offroad- wie Markenfans mit vielen Insider-Informationen begeistert hat. Eine Modellchronik und exklusives Bildmaterial runden diese Must-Have-Monografie ab.
