Saturday marks the 14th anniversary of the launch of the Land Rover APB in September 1995. The Land Rover APB was a Pashley Moulton APB, using the Land Rover name under licence. Thanks to Ken Butterfield for the brochure scans and original press release.
Also, have a look at this interview by Carlton Reid with AA President, Edmund King. During his time with the RAC, King launched an RAC branded APB, introducing...
...RAC members to the concept of “mobility, not just motoring”, spearheading a ’smart travel’ campaign by selling RAC-branded bicycles. These were re-badged Moulton APBs, produced by Pashley. “We sold a few,” said King, ” but it was more to make a statement than make money.”
Many years ago I purchased a Land Rover APB from my local agents in York, then moved overseas so gave it to my daughter in London. Within a year it was stolen, but I managed to recover it from E-bay recently, where I recognised the bike.
I am now in the process of refurbishing it, and would like to complete my files by having a copy of the above original Land Rover brochure – which my daughter also lost as the file was ‘put away’ after the theft!
I would be grateful if Mr. Butterfield could contact me on: foster_neil@yahoo.co.uk and I will gladly reimburse any costs involved.
Many thanks and regards, Neil Foster
Glad to be any help that I can Neil….Nice to see the Land-Rover APB being restored…ken
