James Taylor has been writing professionally about cars since the late 1970s, but his specialism has always been the products of the old Rover Company and of the Land Rover company that grew out of it.
He has acted as a consultant to Land Rover itself and is widely acknowledged as the pre-eminent historian of the marque.
