There’s a bit of a classic feel to 4x4 this month. Starring on the front cover of our July issue is a pristine example of a 40-Series Toyota Landcruiser, which was recently brought to Britain to be refurbished and is now looking absolutely superb. It’s a very fine example of one of the best off-roaders ever made.
Talking of Toyota, the new Highlander is almost as big as an old Landcruiser Amazon but its intent is a little different. It’s more like a big brother for the RAV4. No threat to the current Cruiser’s off-road crown, then – but will it turn out to be a new force in the family SUV market? We have the answer…
Returning to the classic theme, a Puma-engined Defender 110 hardly fits that description. Or does it? The Heritage-style soft-top in this issue does a better job of looking like a great old Land Rover than most great old Land Rovers!
