It's just one of their special editions that never see, to go away.

Defender, cant pull the skin off a rice pudding & unreliable reputation, v. expensive.

Also NON of the others have a full 4x4 system, just limited slip diffs and low range.
Just had someone tell me they wish they'd never bought one due to low power..fair enough in standard @ 134 bhp. and chassis crap.

first point defenders can and will happily tow 3500kg all day long!! unreliable?
depends how well it's maintained I've had several over the years with no major issues.

second point All Defenders have permanant 4x4 low box and centre diff lock as standard.

personaly i wouldent touch a bitsasty with a ten foot pole..

Thanks for all the feedback. I asked the question after ordering as all the reports/advice i get before this were in favour of an L200. Suppose I panicked a bit when 2 or three people said they were not up to the job.
I can now say it is NOT the step down from my Shogun I thought it might be. The ride is better and tows better. The shogun was a bit wallowy and as such tended to be affected more (when at speed)in wind/if the horses moved about a lot. Pulls really well, gearing even better for the job. Cant wait for a bit of off road fun in the lakes this month. Done 600 miles in my first week and so far made up.
Give it another 20,000 and we shall see.

Glad you like it. Love mine. 53,000 miles with no problems whatsoever. Rear tyres lasted 30,000 miles and the fronts lasted nearly 40,000.

May be worth joining the owners club http://www.l200.org.uk/ lots of useful info on there and you get a mug!!
