Turns out my 2000 Range Rover is no good anymore and the money to fix it is not worth the vehicle. I have had a G wagon before and a H1 Wagon, etc. I would like to stay with the all British vehicle theme to compliment my XJ and F Type. What do you guys think of an old school right hand drive Defender 110? Modern day muscle with the red coupe r and a straight up old school tank in the 110

 

SWEET!

 

+1 it's on my list

 

Do it. I love the Defenders. I'm looking for one as well to complete my Range Rover Sport.

 

Check this out folks...

Vehicle Manufacturer Woodstock, ON

 

Awesome, classic choice!
Although, this would be a nice choice too....

 

way too much imo... I want a clean, refurbished, stock appearing model. I have had my eye on this one

http://the-landrovers.com/the-alpina-ii/

 

I think they do stock refurbs as well. They do nice work. I know them. They are the only place certified to build Shelby cars in Canada. The link you gave is nice too

 

That one looks amazing and is a very tasteful and superb restoration that honors the stock tradition. It's also very close to me . . . you better hurry (kidding).

 

Bentley SUV

New Bentley SUV to be built in Britain, 'beating Bratislava' - Telegraph

 

nice.... but way too new and likely way too $$$ for me

 

Went 'green laning' in the south of England many years ago (late 80's) - couple of the guys brought long wheel base land rovers (I guess 110 Defenders). They got stuck in the mud so often we literally CARRIED those things most of the way...

I think the Aussies say 'if you want to go to the Outback, take a Land Rover, if you want to come back, take a Land Cruiser'

They are iconic heavy metal though!

 

That applied to the pre-1985 FJ-4x series LC. Those were a UV rather than a modern SUV primarily built for the extreme terrain of soccer field parking lots.

 

The Bentley is too frou-frou, the new MY2013 Range Rover too curvy and effeminate. I saw an old Defender a week ago just like the one in your photo and the thing really turned heads!! My non-car-guy friend was the first to notice and said to me.."wow so cool I didn't know it's a Land Rover".

Cheers,

I struck a deal with the gentleman I mentioned before, I am having a black one rebuilt from ground up.... no custom mods, will just have that nice clean stock look. Looking forward to it, currently in this stage of production

 

Have you considered a JCB Fastrax? The SUV of UK tractors - it's even done a lap of the Top Gear test track...

 

Oh. As I drive to work, most mornings the LandRover Driving Experience convoy is heading the other way. Currently a mix of Freelanders and Evoques, with the odd RangeRover.

 

Yes but only 2 seats and max speed of 50mph.

 

True, but it'll do that off-road...

 

Well done. What engine/trans does it have?

PS. Saw a sweet deep red one today in London, Ontario. Also RHD.
