Ken a great vehicle to do
A 50th is one Defender I would love to own but prices for a R/S reg vehicle have always put me off - obviously a tight arse 2020 P300 HSE |

Incidentally, what's wrong with the Truck-Lites that's making you think about going back to the Speakers? I'm considering a staged upgrade (due to funds), by going for Crystals first, then later going for Truck-Lites.
As an aside, if you're looking to offload the Truck-Lites, give me a shout ![]() |

This is looking very interesting!
Love a V8 (who doesn't). Looking at the air con vents, I've never sat in a Defender with it fitted but I wonder if I would struggle to actually get my knees under the dash? Is it an issue? 2016 D4 HSE 1998 110 TUM HS FFR Hard Top XD WOLF 1982 Series 3 SWB Petrol |

Adam
you must drive in a weird position all fine ![]() Trucklights choose because they look close to standard fitment I'm just not sure but there are other more pressing things to sort first ![]() |

Auto defenders are great. So easy to drive and is kinder to the rest of the transmission. Never understood why people have it in for them.
50th is great look forward to seeing how the project takes shape. |

Yep, I like autos, very nice to drive.
I have seen a lot of the Defender challenge guys use autos as its better in off-road conditions too, I believe. But, as said, its good to have a choice for those who want to stir the stick... ![]() cheers simon |
