The original aim of a simple 4x4 agricultural tool soon developed into a multi-purpose vehicle that became the mainstay of the British Army and produced numerous offshoots for the emergency services, police, forestry and aid agencies worldwide.\u003cbr\u003e This book details the personalities involved in the various projects since the late 1940s up to today: the designers, modellers and studio engineers. It charts the development of Land Rover and Range Rover projects in the UK, particularly those designed in the Gaydon studio that opened in 1996, and is still a key part of JLR’s design resource. From the early days of chalk drawings and wooden models to today’s digital renderings and milled clays for the latest Range Rover Evoque, Land Rover’s designers and technicians have never been short of creativity. This book tells their story, in their own words, and is a fitting tribute to the spirit and ethos of Land Rover design and engineering.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAdditional Information\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePeriod Covered:\u003cbr\u003e 1948-2018\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Models Covered:\u003cbr\u003e Land Rovers and Range Rovers:\u003cbr\u003e Land Rover Series I 1948-58\u003cbr\u003e Road Rover 1952-1958\u003cbr\u003e Land Rover Series II 1958-61\u003cbr\u003e Land Rover Series IIA 1961-71\u003cbr\u003e Land Rover 109in Forward Control 1962-66\u003cbr\u003e Range Rover 1970-1996\u003cbr\u003e Land Rover Series III 1971-85\u003cbr\u003e Land Rover One Ten 1983-90\u003cbr\u003e Land Rover Ninety 1984-90\u003cbr\u003e Land Rover Discovery Series 1 1989-1998\u003cbr\u003e Land Rover Defender 90 1990-2016\u003cbr\u003e Land Rover Defender 110 1990-2016\u003cbr\u003e Land Rover Defender 130 1990-2016\u003cbr\u003e Range Rover P38A 1994-2001\u003cbr\u003e Land Rover Freelander 1 1997-2006\u003cbr\u003e Land Rover Discovery Series 2 1998-2004\u003cbr\u003e Range Rover L322 2001-2012\u003cbr\u003e Land Rover Discovery Series 3 2004-2009\u003cbr\u003e Range Stormer concept 2004\u003cbr\u003e Range Rover Sport L320 2005-2013\u003cbr\u003e Land Rover Freelander LR2 2006-2014\u003cbr\u003e Land Rover LRX concept 2009\u003cbr\u003e Land Rover Discovery Series 4 2009-2016\u003cbr\u003e Range Rover Evoque 2011- current\u003cbr\u003e Land Rover DC 100 concept 2011\u003cbr\u003e Range Rover L405 2012- current\u003cbr\u003e Range Rover Sport L494 2013- current\u003cbr\u003e Land Rover Discovery Vision concept 2014\u003cbr\u003e Land Rover Discovery Sport 2014- current\u003cbr\u003e Land Rover Discovery Series 5 2016- current\u003cbr\u003e Range Rover Velar 2017 – current\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Veloce Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47628521930972,"sku":"9781845849870","price":83.95,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0814\/8297\/3404\/files\/apivqcipr__62425.1642581491.1280.1280.jpg?v=1772101271","url":"https:\/\/automotobookshop.com.au\/products\/land-rover-design-70-years-of-success-nick-hull","provider":"Automoto Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
