Land Rover and Labrador - Two Books in One - Hardcover

Every Land Rover has its own unique story to tell. This is the story of the world's favourite car. To understand this love affair, Ben travelled the length of the British Isles in a Defender, spending time with fellow Land Rover enthusiasts and meeting folk who have converted their beloved Defenders into everything from hearses and coffee shops to works of art. He has travelled from the Red Wharf in Anglesey, Wales ont the Western Isles of Scotland and Islay, the island used as a testing ground by Spencer Wilks in 1947 to put several of the early Series Land Rover prototypes through their paces. After 67 years and 2 million vehicles the Defender ceased production, and this book is a fitting tribute to this most British institution which has stood as a beacon of durability across the world. Labradors are the most popular breed of dog in the world. Long-time dog lover Ben Fogle goes in search of what makes Labradors so special. Their extraordinary capacity for companionship, their intelligence, work ethic and loyalty is captured by Ben as he weaves the story of the breed into his own story of his beloved black Labrador, Inca, who famously accompanied him on many of his incredible journeys and adventures. This is the story of a dog breed which has captured our imagination and love for hundreds of years.
