Not content with having the most comprehensive website for Land Rover parts and accessories Paddock Spares is set to increase its on line presence even further with the launch of a mobile version of www.paddockspares.com.  Aimed at the increasing number of people accessing the internet through smart phones the mobile version of the site enables visitor’s access to over 5,000 of Paddock’s most popular products.

Rob Wright of Paddock Spares commented ‘Throughout 2011 it was becoming increasingly obvious to us that more people were visiting our site via mobile phones. Regular websites such as ours can be slow to load through mobiles so we set about creating a mobile version of our website with less of the bells and whistles that can be found on our regular site but still with the key information of product descriptions and vehicle applications.  With the help of Paypal we were able to ensure that we could have a fully functioning store within reach of anyone with a smart phone.

When asked about the possibility of an iPhone App, Rob responded ‘I guess we have something to look forward to at the beginning of 2012’.

The Land Rover One Ten (no such thing as a Defender back then) revolutionised the Solihull line-up. The Series III had been around virtually unchanged for years and getting overtaken in every way by other manufacturer's models.

Then Land Rover did the unthinkable and ditched leaf springs in favour of coils and created the vehicle we see here.

It was not an instant leap, there had been the 'Stage One' previous to this but that was essentially a 'Series III Max' rather than a new model. It is a good testament to Land Rover that what they launched in 1983 is still available in the showrooms today, almost 30 years later. Stand this next to a 2012 model Defender and to the untrained eye they might appear to be the same model.
