Thread: Original Land Rover Series I "James Taylor"

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
