PAUL Jones is definitely not your average LRM reader. He doesn’t own a D2 with big tyres and his wife doesn’t drive a Freelander 1 or old Defender. In fact, this Shropshire-based friendly fellow owns a window and conservatory company, and it was only a few years ago that he purchased his first ever Land Rover. It was for the business, a then six-month old 2018 Discovery with the 3.0-litre V6 diesel engine plus all the bells and whistles.
It was meant for family holidays and towing work trailers and diggers. “When I bought it,” Paul reveals, “it was my pride and joy. I like things to be perfect and spotless, so I even washed it every week. Then the two kids (now six and two and half-years old) came along, so it got a little dirtier. I then entered the fascinating world of greenlaning and it got even dirtier still. It would be fair to say that the off-roading and greenlaning have become a bit of an obsession.”
As most readers have been around Land Rovers their whole lives, I ask Paul to talk about his life before Landys, also known as LBL. Is there such a thing some of you may
