Thread: Original Land Rover Series I "James Taylor"

I have been waiting for it to be reprinted - thanks

Just ordered one.

I hope they have updated it as some of the information in the original book was becoming dated.

Cheers

It's good that the 'Original Serie's One' is available again as it gives a really good overview of S1's and the attention to detail that many of us go in for. Certainly I hope that all the new info that has come to light since it was first published in the mid 1990's has made its way into the latest edition.....

well that's ashame because this book is filled with mistakes. if you turn to page 55 you will see that Taylor writes "and the wood is mahogany -used in preference to the coachbuilder's favourite seasoned ash"

then if you turn to page 56 it say's under the first photo" The Tickford-built body has an Ash frame.

so what should a tickford have mahogany or ash? he totally contradicts himself

also why does he have hyphens in the chassis numbers? they never had that?

if it has not been updated its not worth paper its printed on.

Hi there Len

if it has not been updated its not worth paper its printed on.

I need to point out its difficult to please all and I am sorry you feel that way Len. Most books have a few mistakes but I posted it on here for those whom are interested.

PS need to point out mine is on order..........

Hi

Like Wayne I believe it has not been updated. This is unfortunate given that so many people had been asking for it to be reprinted for at least four years to my knowledge (certainly well prior to the 60th Anniversary). It would have been pretty simple to do given the massive amount of information that is now available and so many willing to contribute.

another big mistake page 60

taylor say's "Probably unique to Australian-assembled vehicle's were the large logos on the front wing and rear tailgate"

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