So how many Olympic were made in total.

The one I recall was a metallic brown bordering on black.

It was featured and in lro and I did see it or one like it in staffordshire moorlands/peak district area.

Was the kestrel a factory vehicle too?

Three in total from memory,  one destroyed, one Olympic and one Kestrel.

I found this in Smith's this morning. It's basically 64 pages of not a lot for £6.99. The Lightweight article is identical to the one featured in the latest issue of The Landy which I receive when I order from Dingocroft.
There are no technical items, Q&A or anything of real interest. It's definitely not worth the high price and I for one won't be buying it. It's printed on glossy paper which accounts for the high price. I pay £3.99 per month for LRM which is much better value.

Yes I had a similar experience a couple of days ago - saw and skimmed through a copy in Smiths. Not something I'll do again. The buyers' guide had a photo of a Series II I think for the Series III. Three lifestyle 'why I bought an LR' articles with no technical details. Is this a start-up by former LRO staff? Just poor.

I don't think it's been dreamt up by ex LRO staff. The editor is one Alan Kidd and I've no knowledge of him in the Land Rover world.

Alan Kidd has been around the Landrover and 4x4 world for many years. From memory he was a contributor and possibly editor at some time of Landrover World mag and probably other 4x4 mags prior to that.

[Alan Drover]
