Land Rover Defender prices, old ones.

[Saigon]

Why did they change the shape of the Discovery and make it look like it does now. Which quite honestly stops me from buying a new one. And why does the new Defender look just like the Discovery that is no longer available.

How many gallons to the mile when towing , I bet that makes a Sherman Tank look fuel efficient : D

sold it about 8/9 years ago, but do remember it wasn't as thirsty as you might think it was, would tow about 4.5 tonne no problem

That is the one to have, good investment

LR 90 50th Anniversary

How can it be a good investment, I think they must have peaked can't imagine them going up, only down, the ship has sailed for buying?

Don't shoot me down but on the theme of *** Imports there are some nice Range Rovers especially P38 coming from over there top spec and as new having had two I would have another.

My dad has had a couple of P38's.
Apart from the usual air suspension problems both good rides.
He towed his 21ft Fairline Weekender cabin cruiser down from Yorkshire to Southern Spain, and back, no issues made the RR look small!

They were made down the road from where I went to school

you own this half track, what was it used for

It was made by Laird of anglesey as a project to see if the military would buy. They made 7. We own 2. They where designed to tow a bar mine layer or have large gun in the back. They did design one as a hard top for ambulance or comms vehicle. It's called a centaur

Saw this advert in Cheshire Life this month for a special Defender..............However, I don't think it is worth what they are asking!!

I hope the new Discovery, errr sorry, new Defender, in 90 style will readjusted the current Defender market to sensible levels.

I watched a few reviews on the new Defender this morning. It's a completely different car from anything else in the current line up, it's also a world away from the previous incarnation.
Billed as a super computer on wheels, as it has 8 CPUs that can process 21,000 signals per second, I'm sure it will only push up used values even further.

JLR will be doing a commercial version for use as emergency vehicles and agricultural purposes. There will also be a military spec version.

Seems as though under the discovery 4 school run vehicle looks it should be a competent off roader.... Guess they want to give it the mass market appeal to achieve good sales

 

[Andyk]

Well here is the new one...

 

[whereskeith]

I like it .
Read prices start at 45 for 110 without options and so it will be probably be 55-60 once spec’d which for me isn’t where a defender should sit price wise.

 

[rockits]

My take is simple.....never had one, never wanted one and will never get one!

 

[mjheathcote]

I must say I like the look of the new ones.
The satin paint, white steelies, chequerplate styling.
Good job!

No left in a warehouse to collet dust I'm afraid

I agree with this... I watched the Richard Hammond review of the new Defender on YouTube last week, and think the new Defender 90 (with 3 doors) looked cool.

Quite like that, but would prefer it in black or dark silver. Cool thing though.

seem to be a few of these replica spectre 007 ones springing up and trying to profiteer off it, cheaper than the genuine film one that sold for over 200k though
