Thing is , it is not a factory car it’s a full rebuild by the specials department at Jaguar LandRover . They take late model Defenders bought in from where ever they get them . Then LandRover SVO get to work , gut the thing and out of the other end comes the V8 Defender. I do believe they did some big bucks E-Types a while back. The biggest exponent of this approach is Aston Martin who will take a £250 grand “ bit of a dog” DB5 , and send it back to you at a million plus “modernised “

I would say “ more brass than sense “ , except when I win the EuroMillions I’ll be straight on the phone to Aston ! 2009 GS Auto Zermatt Silver - Sold June 21 after 10 years of ownership

In fairness Lister have been hotting up Jags for years.


.

put me down for one, have to change the alloys to some old type steels to make it more in keeping.

I used to have 110 (pre Defender) ex army with a 3.9 V8 in it, looked a wreak but my God did it move, nice watching peoples faces as you leave them at traffic lights or when you floor it doing 60 mph and it shots off into the distance  Common sense isn't very common.

An engineering prototype of the new D-type will be unveiled later today at Rétromobile Paris, with Jaguar Classic then building 25 fully working vehicles at its factory in Warwickshire.


..... get them whilst you can ......

Dealership told me this morning that they are £155K and they are only making 150. If it wasn't so bad it'd be funny.

Freelander 2 HSE auto 2014 ( Florrie ) ..... Try again.
Freelander 2 GS 2012...... Gone.

Just watched the LR video on the first post.

Saw the black wheel arches and thought thank goodness McGovern hasn't anything to do with its styling (he'd have body coloured them - and probably added diamanté studs).
So, all was going well until I saw the interior ..
.... so they must've got the black arches passed when McGovern was on his 'flat white' break.

I question those who have ivory leather (or a tree) as part of the interior of a car ..... but on a Defender ?????? FL2 now gone and have a couple of items left for sale:-

Brodit active iPhone holder + Brodit dash clip,
