Overlander 4X4  |  March 2021
Off-road motorsport has kind of taken a back seat over the last year. But at an elite level, it’s still happening – and at the grass-roots level, people have been using the break to make their vehicles better than ever.
In this month’s issue of 4x4, we’ve got a full report from the pinnacle of off-road racing – the Dakar Rally. In addition, we’ve taken an in-depth look at Titan – a one-off spaceframe special built for rock racing and winch competition at the highest level.
And that’s not the only remarkable vehicle in this month’s issue. We’ve unearthed a low-mileage Defender 110 that’s been rebuilt on a galvanised chassis – and Unimog axles. And if that’s still not wild enough, try a Jaguar XJ6 pick-up on a coiled Land Rover 109 chassis with a 6.5-litre General Motors V8 diesel up front…
There’s yet another unusual Land Rover in this issue, too, in the shape of a late 110 with JE Motorworks’ 2.3-litre Ford Ecoboost engine conversion. And if you’re looking for a modern Landy, we’ve had our first experience behind the wheel of the new Defender 90.
Also tested this month are the SsangYong Korando, which is a brilliant option in its class, and Jeep’s award-winning Renegade 4xe Trailhawk. Is it the best plug-in hybrid yet? We think it’s in with a shout at the very least.
There’s a fond farewell to a much older Jeep in this issue, too, as our project Cherokee sets sail for pastures new. And of course, we’ve got our usual news, product updates and so on – as well as some more fond reminiscences, from the days when Britain still got proper snowy winters. Lockdown might not be over yet – but pick up the March issue of 4x4 and you won’t be short of quality reading to help see you through!
