About the photograph.

 

As a fan of tigers, whenever I seen any vehicles with tiger strips painted on them, I often admired their paintwork.

 

This is a Land Rover Discovery, a first generation Series I model (1989-1998).

 

The majority of this Discovery’s back is covered with tiger strips paintwork, while most of the front is left simply in jet black colour.

 

The Discovery is a series of seven-seater family SUVs, manufactured by Land Rover (later renamed as Jagar Land Rover).

 

The Range Rover was designed to be an everyday 4x4 that could work as either a utility vehicle or a family car, while the Series models (1948-1985) was often seen as a light agricultural and utility vehicle. However the Range Rover moved towards a more upmarket luxury vehicle, so the Discovery was intended to fill in the role the Range Rover was originally supposed to be for.

 

The Discovery Series I was presented during the 1989 Frankfurt Motor Show, it was based on the Range Rover, but designed to be more affordably, and as a fully off-roading everyday family car. It offered a more luggage space with the optional of adding two more seats making it a total of 7 seats.

 

 

 

About the Land Rover Owner International Show.

 

Land Rover Owner, often abbreviated as LRO, is a British monthly magazine for Land Rover enthusiasts, published by a company based in Peterborough. The full title is often Land Rover Owner International.

 

It first started in July 1987 by a group of East Anglian businessmen, and was a mainly black and white 40 pages magazine. By the mid-1990s, it was bought by a publishing group, and became one of the popular Land Rover magazines.

 

The Land Rover Owner International Show is a yearly event ran by the magazine, and usually during the weekend in September. It features many various Land Rover vehicles on display, and includes an action arena for Land Rover drivers to display their driving skills.
