We can live in hope! It won’t be doing massive annual mileage, but we may be running it in on a trip to Austria in May.

Picked her up on Wednesday after a wait of nine months. Delighted with it I have to say. Very smooth ride accompanied by wonderful V8 sound! All the tech features will take some time to get into but it's fun playing with it. Fit and finish seems very good so far, and very pleased with the full PPF. I don't wince so much now driving along our overgrown lane!

That looks very smart! I do have a soft spot for 90s.
Congrats on the purchase.

Wonderful car in the perfect colour - first game to play is “can I get over 20 to the gallon” 😂

Congrats, Nick! I love the look of these (hence me starting this thread nearly a year ago)!

Really cool. 😎

Wishing you very many happy miles/smiles!

Cheers,

Looks great and they sound fantastic. Heard one last night around a local town and definitely could be heard 😀

I'm glad you've finally taken delivery and hope it turns out to be everything you hoped for. I'm not going to pretend that I've suddenly become a fan of the Defender but it would be a boring old world if we all liked the same thing.
