Original Land Rover Series I "James Taylor"

Well I am purchasing it with worts and all. I appreciate the there may be some errors but nevertheless I think it is still the best reference book around.

I have been rebuilding cars for 30 years and have never found the perfect book but all I have used have been helpful.

For about $80 landed at my door I think this is a good book to use.

Gee ,

So it has a few small errors here and there . Just think of the huge task writing a book like that ..many hours of work . No single book can totally cover the whole story ..bound to be a few little details missed or omissions. Nobody is perfect .

If somebody else is willing to spend a few years of their life researching a complicated story like Land Rover history ..go for it ,instead of whinging .

A couple of months ago The Series One Club published John Smith's "Land-Rover, The Formative Years 1947-67" Hope this link works:
Special Offer
Otherwise go to the LRSOC site. On the homepage is the link.

What seems amazing is that after years of asking for reprints when somebody does spend years writing a new book then it got reprinted. Yes, it's a great book, like Tony Hutchings "Land Rover - The Early Years" published in 1982 (limited to 1000 copies) and reprinted a few years ago.

We need them all and they are now all affordable.

If taylor had done any research he would of found that the only australian vehicle's to have this come from qld

Depends on how its worded,but i thought QLD was in Australia!.

Not too sure where Qld is, last time I was there I was certain it was another country. But I have ordered mine with or without errors, let’s be realistic there are errors in the manuals so why not a few in reference books.
