That lightweight is superb!!!! Brought a real smile to my face .

I'm off to poke some holes in my exhaust back box so mine sounds like that!

There are actually a couple of Defenders that, IMO, surpass that little beast. There is a 50th Anniversary that has been bored to 4.6 litres and supercharged giving 300bhp and 0-60 ~6.8 / 120+mph. And I think there is a 5.3 normally aspirated V8 that puts out ~330bhp with massive driveshaft melting torque.

:homer: mmmmm torque.... :drool:

That is a Series One, not a lightweight! Series Ones are much better looking than the Lightweight LR - at least they have some curves....

Are you sure?

imagine that with a PISONHEADS "MOVE!!" sticker on the bumper
The second link is a series one and granted it is the prettier of the two
