Spanning from the early days of Land Rover in Solihull, all the way to the launch of the Range Rover Velar last year, Land Rover Design ñ 70 years of success is described as a ìlandmarkî book by publisher Veloce. Written by design journalist Nick Hull, it details projects, designers, modellers and studio engineers from the late 1940s, with particular focus on models designed at the Gaydon studio that opened in 1996. Trace the birth of Land Rover right through to BMWís ownership in the 1990s, during the Ford years, and the arrival of Gerry McGovern and Tata. Itís certainly not cheap at £50, however, itís the perfect coffee table book that will be sure to provoke discussion thanks to 208 pages and 300 photographs.
