    "What better person to recount the first 60 years of Land Rover than the man widely known as 'Mr Land Rover'? Roger Crathorne was born at the same time that Maurice Wilks conceived the Land Rover and on the same road where the first vehicle was manufactured - Lode Lane in Solihull. He has worked for Land Rover all his working life - first as an engineer - and achieved fame as head of the Land Rover demonstration unit. Roger has probably done more off-road miles in a Land Rover than anyone else on the planet and has tutored more eminent pupils - including Prince William and Princess Anne - than any other instructor. His vivid, entertaining and highly personal tale is written by well-known car author Gavin Green to celebrate the 60th anniversary of the iconic 4x4 maker."



    However the highlight of today has been my daughter playing happy birthday for me on the piano while my little boy barked to the song??!


    sounds like you had a great day with the family and pressies....well done...any more copies of the book sounds like a great read

    I think the book is a 60th anniversary thing. I'm not sure how many copies they printed. It wasn't expensive by book standards so if you wanted a copy I'd order one sooner rather than later.

    PS Check the birthday video on facebook
