Then along came the Freelander. Love it or hate it, Solihull’s soft-roader paved the way for everything Land Rover has done since. This one is among the very ﬁrst from the dawning of the new age – and it’s owned by a man who was there at the time and saw it all happen.

The Landy - November 2022

Published on Sep 20, 2022

It’s already a quarter of a century since the first Freelander was made. And it was the template for everything Land Rover has created ever since. The time will come when the company’s history starts for real in 1997, with those first fifty years of making funny off-road trucks a mere footnote in the tale of a luxury car brand. You may or may not agree with this, far less like it, but the Freelander was a massively significant part of the Land Rover story. And this month’s Landy contains a feature on what must be one of the very earliest surviving examples – a pre-production model whose purpose in life was to be fawned over by the adoring press. At the other end of the scale, we’ve got a Discovery 1 rebuilt as a tube-bodied special.
