The very first example displayed\non a motor show stand, at Amsterdam in April 1948, was not a “standard” vehicle\nat all but had been adapted to turn it into a mobile welder.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn the years\nthat followed, specialist companies flocked to create all kinds of\nspecial-purpose adaptations of the basic vehicle, and before long its makers\nwere having to make major decisions about whether they could honour the\nstandard warranty on a Land Rover that had been modified by one of these\naftermarket companies. They solved the problem by introducing a Land Rover\nApproval scheme, under which they would examine and test an example of a\nconversion and would then agree to honour the vehicle warranty if the\nconversion met their standards.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eEven then, some\nconversions were put on the market without going through the formal approval\nscheme, and buyers simply took the associated risk. Between these unauthorised\nconversions and the factory-approved ones, a vast array of different types was\ncreated, and for enthusiasts today these have a very special appeal of their\nown.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe aim of this\nbook is to catalogue those conversions, to provide both helpful background\ninformation and to help in their identification. It cannot claim to be\nexhaustive, but it is certainly the most complete illustrated catalogue yet\ncompiled on the subject. Illustrated with pictures from the original\nmanufacturers and with many others showing modern survivors, it is a colourful\nand enjoyable guide to this branch of Land Rover history.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Herridge \u0026 Sons Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54230191833432,"sku":"9781914929090","price":55.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9781914929090_2f8242d2-eab3-4fec-a7c1-1d26d4729c6b.jpg?v=1778536846","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/complete-catalogue-of-land-rover-conversions-accessories","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
