From the Author
Having made a special study of, written about and 'lived with' Land Rovers for many years, I came to the conclusion that a detailed history of the versatile Discovery series was long overdue and would be appreciated by domestic users and off- roaders alike.

From Chapter 11: The Discovery is a first-rate off- roader, but not every Discovery buyer intends to take it off- road. There is no shame in admitting that you might never use the vehicle off-road at all.
