Conserving A Legend by Jon Kappeyne

The book is for the Land Rover enthusiast and takes the reader through a journey of restoration by a man who has decades of experience of restoring Land Rovers.

Jon is a keen observer, engineer, agriculturalist and ecologist.

As a result of his technical and scientific training, he is forever investigating the world around him. He is acerbic, often critical of established wisdom and always sceptical of urban myths and legends.

A sense of humour and a large repertoire of swear words for every occasion has helped him to maintain some sanity . . . . .

With over 60 years of exposure to Land Rovers for both work and recreation, often in extreme conditions and out of the way places, he has had to solve problems and make do without any backup. As a result he has had to develop some unique tricks and ways to overcome these challenges.

The aim of this book is to pass on his experience and knowledge to the reader. There are lots of photos to illustrate the techniques used and the anecdotes sprinkled throughout the text will hopefully provide amusement when your Land Rover gives trouble, knowing that you are not alone!
