Over the last few years here at Land Rover Madness we've managed to uncover some pretty unusual Land Rovers, some of the finest off-road 4x4 vehicles ever made. Now the time is right to revamp the site into a more logical order and to consolidate/update/improve on the information for each Land-Rover model. Hopefully, you'll help to update and improve the new site. If you own, or know about an unusual (or not so unusual) Land Rover vehicle, let us know about it. If there is an obvious omission or mistake on this website (nobody's perfect!), or maybe you have more information on a model that is featured here already, or have any hints or tips to pass on, let us know about that too!
