fine, bearing in mind it must be 1/2 ton lighter than a disco,

it goes better than an original diesel or petrol engine I think

the turbo would make it too much for gearbox and brakes I think

I just pottered to work in it and it sits fine at 45-50mph, which I'm happy with

and pulls in 3rd well when slowing for roundabouts

I'm going to a local classic car show on Monday in it, why not !

2013 Defender 110 Puma 2.2 XS CSW Santorini Black

Very very nice vehicle there.
Are you going to keep the Series 3 grille, or go for a S2A "Aussie barbecue" one? 1970 Series 2A 88"

2012 Defender 110 Puma 2.2 USW Aintree Green

Of course he is, it's a series 3

Very nice car that is and I like the colour, makes a change from DBG, probably why I like my red S2 so much, even though it was never a fire engine...

Sorry, misread title as Series II, not III.

Looks great, so yes, +1 to keep it original!

Land Rover Defenders. 67 years heritage, minimal appearance changes, still going strong all over the world. Not a fashion vehicle, but fashionable to own. Made for the needy, not the greedy. Ta ta Defender
