Ian Baughan from IRB Developments talks old Forward Controls, supercharged Defenders and Land Rover security

  • Summary

  • In this week's episode, Steve and Martin are at IRB Developments in the Midlands, having a chat with owner Ian Baughan.

    It's a trip down memory lane for the boys as they discuss Land Rovers in motorsport, the tuning scene in the mid-2000s and the World's Fastest Land Rover feature in Land Rover Monthly back in 2007.

    The trio talks tool brands, diagnostic gear, the LRM workshop section and Ian's getting into ECU tuning which has led to a number of Land Rover Monthly cover cars that have come from IRB Developments' workshop.

    Ian reveals his love for the TDCi engine and lack of interest in BMW engine conversions, and his top tips for modernising Series Land Rovers.

    There's also a glimpse into Ian's collection, including his very special 1962 Forward Control – chassis number 1 – and how he came to own it, as well as Richard Hammond's Land Rover meet-up at The Smallest Cog.
