Anyone who loves the Land Rover Marque will enjoy reading these books.
Easily available on Kindle.
And a good, highly interesting and informative read too.

Re: Land Rover support group!

Nice pics!! Historic!! Although the Series I seems to be a Police 14 vehicle. The Indian Army as you know, sadly never used the Land Rover.

Re: Land Rover support group!

You may not get to see these beauties operating in the Darjeeling hills anymore. West Bengal government is proposing to ban them for safety reasons
