The Spring 2026 issue of Heritage Land Rover is out now – and it’s packed from cover to cover with remarkable stories from the world of classic Solihull machinery.

Leading the charge is the incredible tale of Land Rovers triumphing in the Dakar Classic Rally, where a 109" Series III Station Wagon takes on the desert and beats the odds. There’s redemption, too, for the earliest V8 Land Rover, as a 109" Stage 1 V8 Station Wagon is restored and brought back to its best.

We dive into the story of a rare early Series II still powered by its unpopular 2.0 diesel, and follow the journey of a rotten Range Rover reborn as a James Bond tribute in our Flying Huntsman feature.

Elsewhere, we explore what it takes to install a 300Tdi engine in a Series truck, show how a little lift can transform a Series I, and meet a Discovery 300Tdi that’s still with its original owner.

From a pensionable Swiss 110 given a new lease of life to an early 90 that made an idiot of the law, plus a rare Overfinch 630R P38 Range Rover and our latest Buyers’ Guide inspiration, this issue celebrates the first half century of the great British 4x4 in true Heritage Land Rover style.
