With the news that the last of the British Army’s Land Rovers are to be decommissioned and sold off, we explore Northumberland in a convoy of ex-MOD Landies from across the ages. Mike Trott finds the extraordinary in the ordinary, as he learns about the tales and memories held in a humble-looking 109 among the Dunsfold Collection. Deceptive in different ways, we meet an early-looking four-door re-engineered Range Rover which is not short of a trick or two.

Later in the issue, we look at a lightweight that was worth the time taken to achieve perfection. A chunky, mean, beefy machine that took lots of engines, lots of chassis, was put on coils, and is now back on leaves. And finding an old car that really is in ‘time-warp’ condition is like finding a baby dragon in your Easter Egg. But we may have done just that. We check out an early 3-door Discovery sold earlier this year which will take you back to 1989.
