Today in Geneva - Twisted.... and others
Saw this parked here in town this morning. What colour is that? A blue I have not seen before, quite nice actually.

Never knew the more recent Pumas came in that colour. Or is it a Twisted special colour?

They haven't to my knowledge come out the factory that colour since 1994 so I would guess is a special request colour to Twisted and they had it re-sprayed.

Looking again though looks like it might be the earlier colour Shire Blue which was an even older Land Rover Series colour.

Looks Nice Though, suits it in a retro kind of way.



don't like the wheels though

Indeed, it's a strange one! Very much Arles Blue (The old duck egg as it was known!), but I've never seen anything past a 200 Tdi in it! I quite like it if I'm honest! Thumbs Up An engine to TDi for!

+1 looks definitely like Marine Blue - my 1st LR was a new 1973 Series 3 in Marine Blue with a Limestone hard top and wheels.

Absolutely spot on with Marine Blue!!
They are bought in whatever colour is available and promptly stripped down and resprayed.

It is indeed a retro edition more often seen in bahama gold when done by them but looks nice and subtle in the marine blue with the series light surrounds etc. etc.

Just a shame it's not on the limestone rostyles. I love them!!

IMO the wheels were the least appealing on this blue Twisted Defender. I think it would have been much nicer if it would have had been on HD Wolf wheels painted in the same limestone as the roof.

He's as bad as Killer for not cleaning his wheels!
Twisted are making some lovely Defenders lately, just needs the white bits like the roof in limestone for a true classic look Defender puma dormobile camper

There is a company in nw england who repair accident damaged land rovers and sell them without telling the new owner, just mentioning this as i viewed 1 a few months ago (spotted the repair which was denied) but noticed a lot of twisted decals on their stock, prob not put their by twisted boys me thinks Whistle

Exactly two weeks later than the Twisted encounter, when going window shopping in Geneva city center this morning, we saw another blue 110 parked in town this morning....
