Would love to see Land Rover. The new Defender 90 would be a great addition. Also the xc60 and xc90 from Volvo. long time Land Rover owner since 2001. Never owned anything else. Insurance rocketing along with ridiculous tax has forced me to join the scheme and leave Land Rover. I’ve chosen xc40. Closest I could get to the comfort I’ve had for 20 odd years.
I did have a look and 48hr extended test drive in the Defender when I was looking for a new 4×4 though I simply didn’t like its new rather plasticky feel and engine choice. In the end I went for an Ineos Grenadier – now that is what the Land Rover Defender should have been. Much more rugged, capable and comfortable, both off road and on. I still have an older Defender and a Series 3 in one of the barns – these were proper Land Rovers in my book.
I’d love a defender/series. Not the new one. Bloody ugly. But if it came on the scheme I might actually go for it. The shape is more like what the disco should have been, not the new sporty/evoque styles 🤮.
Don’t like the way JLR are going with all models being targeted at the luxury market. Full Fat RR is the luxury Land Rover and should stay that way. It’ll certainly be a sad day when my new car comes 😢
I like sitting outside RAF bases all day pretending to be a photogramapher
