Looks more like a delivery of G wagons to me. The spare looks more offset than on the defender 21MY Defender 90 S 3.0 D200

All our prototypes were delivered in enclosed trucks, never on open frame carriers with canvas covers, too tempting if left while the driver stops for dinner/sleep/poop and easy to remove covers for naughty spy type people Wink Regards

Lovely i6 has now gone, but not me......

Please let me know if anything in my post offends you, as I may wish to offend you again......

Prototypes not being used on open uk roads now are hidden in OnTime trucks. The chasing pack follow from Whitley/Gaydon all the way down to Southampton or across to Harwich in the feint hope of capturing "the" photo, but to little avail.

I find it quite hilarious watching these R-soles hanging out of the passenger side of a moving vehicle with their long lenses, following a camoflagued vehicle up and down the Warmington Road, hoping to catch a snap of........precisely nothing!

Rear wheel geometry looks a bit odd on the SWB version, seems to be very close to the rear wheel arch forward section, hopefully a LR buck on a Suzuki Jeep Chassis Laughing Regards

Was thinking along the same line, Pics 4&5 look particularly "decoy" to me.

I am not sure about the actual rear suspension layout, but is the wheel being pulled forward as it extends (due to short trailing link) Otherwise the short wheelbase version appears the same as in earlier 'spy' photos. FL2 XS SD4 Auto 2010 2012-2017 (21k - 91k miles) (MY2011)
FL2 Metropolis SD4 Auto 2014 2017- (16k - 79k+ miles) (MY2015)
Metro in its 11th Year of (Extended) LR Warranty / Full LR Service History
(Expensive, but Trouble/Worry free - hopefully?)

I’d be very surprised if they made a suspension which has so much extension to make such a difference to wheelbase in service......maybe they had some old Triumph ride and handling engineers left in a cupboard somewhere? Whistle Regards

Just optical illusion

My D5 looked the same from certain angles

See the perfect Defender replacement IMHO would be ........

A Freelander2 auto with low range box, air suspension, and big brakes.
Mmm can't do that, they would never sell any more Disco 5s, or Disco Sports for that matter. Tangiers Orange - gone, missing her
Replaced by Ewok what a mistake - now a happy Disco Sport owner

Nail on head, and oh so spot-on with that observation.

Plus the fact that Gerry would have one of his hissy fits as it would be his predecessors original styling design and not his Laughing
