In this very special episode, Land Rover Monthly editor Martin Domoney grabs half an hour with Mike Sampson – the man responsible for designing the Discovery 1 and later on, Range Rover Sport.

Mike gives a fantastic insight into how the distinctive Discovery shape came about, and why it was so important to get it right from the very outset, despite a very tight schedule and incredibly limited budget. Ever wondered how the distinctive steel wheel design came from? You can thank Mike for that.

He walks us through his time on the Range Rover Sport project, and gives his opinion on the very latest crop of Land Rovers. Huge thanks to Mike for giving up some of his time for us to record this Podcast.
