Description
Arthur Goddard, the Land Rover's First Engineer The story of the British Land Rover 4x4's development has long been shrouded in mystery. Until 2009, when two Australian enthusiasts, Michael Bishop and Alex Massey, stumbled upon senior member of the original team, Arthur Goddard, living in Brisbane, Australia. This chance discovery led to a unique opportunity to hear the story firsthand from Arthur's perspective. The book offers a fascinating blend of technical and human insights into the creation of the iconic vehicle. Arthur's account is complemented by a visit to his old workplace in Solihull, where he shares his experiences with his former colleague, Spen King, who went on to design the Range Rover in the 1960s.
