2016 Defender 130 Puma 2.2 HCPU Santorini Black

Next week - New Defender week....

My dealer contact says next week is a big one for LR and Defender ....... quite nervous with a couple of orders on the list.

Would like a farm spec basic 100, a 7seat family 120 hack and a 140/150 to replace my 130!!

Not too much to ask?

1951 80" S1 2.0

So, are you saying that your Dealer has said that something will be revealed about the "New" Defender, next week?
If so, that is VERY interesting, because to date, NOTHING "official" has been released,.....just "myth & hearsay".
I am "all ears"!!, Pickles.

2007 Defender 110 Puma 2.4 XS CSW Firenze Red

Next two car shows i believe is Chicago and geneva i think.

Pretty sure Chicago starts tomorrow and runs for a week and the Geneva show starts in March.

Might be right.

Cheers

Personally I think they will announce that they are going to licence out the last Defender for non-US/EU markets and cancel the replacement "new" defender project as non viable, instead offering a stripped out Freelander based box with a computer in it.

Chatting to a mate who works at JLR

He never says much but pretty much said it will use the D3/D4 chassis/running gear wouldn't talk about engine

I would love to buy something based on D3 with manual box and coil springs again.

Not true. JLR CEO has already publicly stated:
"Crucially, Speth confirmed in Paris that the new Defender would be based on the aluminium architecture of the Range Rover, Range Rover Sport and Discovery, meaning it can share the all-aluminium body shop and final assembly procedures of these models. However, Speth also confirmed that the Defender’s structure would need “a lot of different elements” to deliver the extremes of strength and durability customers will expect of Land Rover’s most capable off-roader"

2015 Defender 90 Puma 2.2 XS CSW Santorini Black

I think there are some crossed wires here. JLR are rumoured to be announcing their new addition to the Range Rover family which will slot in between the Evoque and RR Sport, code named L560 and possibly named the Range Rover Velar. Defender 90XS SW

Range Rover Velar

Immediately nicknamed by one of my engineers as the Rangie Vulva - we don't employ them for their intelligence
