IMPROVING THE NEW DEFENDER

LRO magazine April 2022

by Theo Ford-Sagers |

Can you customise the new Defender? It’s been around for two years now, so what kit is available, and what different interpretations are new owners coming up with? Our April issue tackles this emerging topic.

And we’ve a desert rally double-whammy: Helen Tait Wright tells the bittersweet story of her bid for success in the Rallye Aicha des Gazelles in the Sahara, and we hear from Land Rover drivers at this year’s Dakar Rally.
