RE: Land Rover revives the V8 Defender
Discussion
If I had to have a Defender, isn't this closer to what its really all about, and a properly new car.....oh and £100k less!
Yes there's no V8, but lets not try and pretend a Defender is a rival to a G Wagon

LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL £150000.. LOL LOL LOL LOLLOL no doubt some fools will be easily parted with their money
The irony obviously being that the chap with £150k to throw at a pointless bit of pure fun is going to be the abject opposite of a fool. Fools are people who walk into a Ladbrokes with the cash they need for their weekly food shop. A fool is the chap who borrows money to buy something he can’t afford. The world is full of fools but the chap who has acquired enough wealth that he can throw £150k at a frivolous toy for the hell of it really isn’t going to be one of them.

How very judgemental of you. Could have won Euromillions or have rich parents. Maybe he should pay a bit more tax than he does..

"We've finished production of Defender "
Some months later......
"Apart from these 150 units to charge a silly amount of money for"
It's a bit like Pagani......"this is definitely the last of the line Zonda"......except for the next one.

School of thought going around is that it's simply a marketing ploy to keep the Defender name in the public eye, and the from 150,000 smackeroonies is to manage expectations when the price of the new Defender is announced.
Still not figured out some of the issues on the body panels, it's already seriously overweight apparently, and despite the claim it will be all alloy, it's not been possible to fabricate certain panels with sufficient strength without internal raw steel bracing bonded in. Roof still a big issue recently as last month, talk of fixing just that would add 50kg. Seems implausible to me, but who knows.
So overweight and overpriced. But it will have magnificent articulation, so that will please the nutters in 20th hand jacked up Discoveries. Be really good for bouncing up the kerb outside Fortnum's.
