4.0 out of 5 stars O.K., but something's missing..., April 24, 1998

This review is from: Land Rover: British Four-Wheel-Drive from 1948 (Osprey Colour Classics) (Paperback)

This volume is satisfactory in that it presents Land Rover vehicles in action with many colorful photos and good text, but the content belies its sub title("British 4-Wheel Drive from 1948"), for it shows very few photos of Land Rover vehicles between 1948 and the Defender model from the late '80s. A bit disappointing for "early" Rover enthusiasts. But great for Defender owners!

This review is from: Land Rover: British Four-Wheel-Drive from 1948 (Osprey Colour Classics) (Paperback)

I was expecting a better cross section of Land Rover Defenders throughout the years. The book did concentrate on Defenders, but the earlier models were basically museum pieces. I would like to have seen more of a model by model breakdown. This is a picture book of defenders in all sorts of predicaments. Not a pretty sight. You have to give Land Rover credit for not being afraid to show their vehicles in the worst light. This book is an extremely easy read. If you consider the price of this book it's not a bad buy at all. Would recommend.
