Following the launch of the all-new Land Rover Defender last year, one of the main criticisms laid at the SUV’s feet was that it didn’t wasn’t as readily modifiable as the old model it shares its name with. That idea was further supported by what happened with TFL’s second attempt to get their hands on […]
A modified Defender 130 Gun Bus was delivered to the palace several years ago for this purpose.

Just two months shy of his 100th birthday when he died, the Duke […]

This is something special. The Land Rover Defender has evolved from an all-conquering off-roader into a more sophisticated luxury product, and it’s new price matches its spiff. However, that unattractive sticker price has helped Land Rover turn its fortunes around. As the traditionally utilitarian vehicle has morphed into a designer accessory, it has now grabbed the attention of the […]
A finished product known as the Land Rover Series first hit the market in 1948. Few vehicles are as iconic and long-lasting as the classic Land Rover Defender.

It was a shock when Land Rover pulled the plug on its Defender model in 2016, an automotive classic if ever there was one. LR said it had a new version in the works; left unsaid was that the old one couldn’t meet U.S. (and other) safety and emissions standards. This left Land Rover with […]

Six-wheeled military and commercial vehicles have been around for ages, but six-wheel passenger vehicles are relatively new. The Mercedes-Benz G63 AMG 6×6 single-handedly made six-wheel drive cool eight years ago when it launched, and since then, the aftermarket has caught notice. We could talk all day about 6×6 trucks from Hennessey, but did you know that […]
