Default Land Rover: A Tough Fifty Years coffee table book

Found this one in my local library - about 160 pages of pictures and background on all models Rover, lots of pictures of the factory production lines, etc. The Rover is probably the most modded vehicle on the planet. You'll be impressed by what has been done to some of these, including things like floats and rear mount PTO driven propeller for use in the really deep water.

There's more to read about Rovers than the RAVE...

Nice! I'll have to pick that one up. I just finished reading this one and found it fascinating: http://amzn.com/3980583201

It explains the history of 4x4 in general, how Rover came to be, all their developments, and many of their failed or skunkworks projects. In the back it talks about Camel Trophy and gives stats on all the models up to '97.
