Flaptekst van het boek over de eerste generatie Land Rover Discovery

Discovering the Discovery: The Story Behind Land Rover’s Game-Changer.

Since its debut in 1989, the first generation Land Rover Discovery has become a beloved icon with a devoted global following. While many books offer buying advice, none have fully explored the why behind the Discovery–its creation, development journey, and the role it played in shaping Land Rover’s future.

The Discovery was more than just a new model–it was a turning point. In the early 1980s, Land Rover faced declining sales and rising competition from affordable, family-friendly 4x4s built by Japanese manufacturers. These vehicles borrowed the Range Rover’s concept but delivered it at a much lower price. Land Rover knew it needed a response–and fast.

The result was the Discovery: a bold, mid-market SUV developed under tight deadlines and with new internal processes. Launched in 1989, it hit the market with immediate success, becoming a European best-seller and revitalizing Land Rover’s position in the global automotive industry. It soon became a core part of the brand’s identity and laid the groundwork for today’s fifth-generation models.

Flaptekst van het boek over de Engelse automodellen Rover P5 en P5B

The car favoured by British Prime Ministers and the Queen. This is an essential guide to one of Britain’s most respected cars.

The Rover P5 and P5B were the flagship Rover models throughout the 1960s and early 1970s. These cars were the official transport for prime ministers from Edward Heath to Margaret Thatcher and also chosen by Queen Elizabeth II as her personal car. The Rover P5 is highly regarded in the classic car world today.

In this readable and authoritative book, acknowledged Rover expert James Taylor tells the story of the original six-cylinder P5 and that of its P5B successor with a V8 engine originally designed by Buick. He also covers rally cars and the specials that were adapted for government, military and royal use. Featuring archive and colour photography, and incorporating recent research, this is an essential guide to one of Britain’s most respected cars.
