2020 Defender

Good article. Thx for sharing.

Funny how some of the press write the Defender has been in production since the beginning - “The outgoing 71-year-old Defender model”.

Never considered my ‘67 Series IIa 109 a Defender. Guessing most Series owners would feel the same.

Isn't the Defender essentially a rebranded Series IV?

That was meant for Blueboy = "Never considered my ‘67 Series IIa 109 a Defender. Guessing most Series owners would feel the same."
I jest....

Yes.

“We” all know the last real LR was the Series IIa as the III had a plastic dash.

Or is the Defender (Land Rover 110, anyway) essentially a rebranded Stage Two?

Stage 1 based on a Series III 109

But on coil springs with a V8. It's definitely the missing link between the Series and Defender.

Yes for sure. Initially though with leafs yet with v8 and Rangie 4wd permanent running gear.

I get more Jeep references in my IIA than anything.

"Hey is that a Willys?" or "How hard are parts to find?"

 

[SCSL]

"How hard are parts to find?"

Easy. Just walk back up the trail.

Looks like a Honda Element anally violating a chevy product that has angry bird headlight covers.
Gee, I TOTALLY want one of those.

At least this Element has a real AWD system
