show us your land rover

I will never tire of this. Every other holiday is an anticlimax after Safari.

I really do like those, and that looks like a beautiful example. I love my old Defender dearly, but a D4 does seem to tick the boxes for every car you'd ever need...

They’re just brilliant. Coming up on a year with mine now and despite its foilbles I can’t ever imagine being without it!

Just does everything. Bit mucky after some impromptu off roading to avoid some accident traffic and take a road nobody else could


Acting as ‘track support’ for half a dozen mates at snetterton Last month





And last couple of weeks I’ve been building a play house for my daughter, realised I needed some more 3.9m lengths, to the rescue it comes again

I stayed near Silverstone the other night whilst attending a track day.

In the car park was another what appeared to be another SVA with a trailer but on closer inspection it was a V8 Autobiography with an SVA badge on it.



My childish friend decided to place some tape on my trailer, I wonder what the guy in the Autobiography thought when he left in the morning and saw it

I still miss my Defender. Luckily still owned by a friend and I get to drive it round his muddy fields most winters, which suits it far more than London did.

My wife hated this car.

And doing the daily commute to some bonkers off-piste skiing, in snow spec (steelies and big snow tyres) when I spent my first winter in the Alps.

Damn it, I may cry. Life was a lot simpler, once.

In the barn. Winter is coming.

Shurely shome mishtake?

I would love one of those to go with the V8, however I think there’s quite a few people watching the market as well.

I can put you in touch with a really good guy in SA if you’re not frightened of importing one? He’s a mate of Pat’s and I’ve imported my 110 with him (and another mate a 90)

If you’re looking for a 50th rather than a regular 2.8i then they are bloody rare though, only 26 in total I think!

That's a very kind offer - thanks. I would've been happy with a regular 2.8i.

However, we've just got planning so the funds are going into the house. Altogether a different stress!!

No probs, just drop me a DM if you'd like his number for future reference, I think he's gathered a bit of a stockpile of them to gradually sell off.

Generally the ones he buys are slightly tatty and a bit iffy in the wiring department but virtually rust free. Great project cars.

Does this neatly sum up modern Land Rover ownership?

Not for me no. I must admit my speedometer gets a bit vague above 40ish though, but I think that is a mechanical issue rather than electronic.

Thank you. It is an awesome car and I can't ever imagine replacing it. It does everything so well: the daily grind, hauling stuff, off-road or a road trip to Greece. I couldn't be without it.

Roof rack of choice as well I see.

I do miss my D3 badly.

Hi all.


I am a new Defender owner having just bought this 110. It has only covered 16,000 miles (2013 model) and has been kept in a heated barn by its previous owner, so hoping it doesn’t have a hissy fit now it is outside! Hoping also to get it muddy at some stage!

Vizlas.

Wire haired.

Some more Vizla / Land Rover shots......

[Osinjak]

Not seen a wire-haired version, fine looking dogs.

Always thought that’s a lovely looking truck. Nicely spec’d without being overstated or pretentious.
I feel your loss.
