2014 Defender 90 Puma 2.2 XS CSW Stornoway Grey

I remember looking out of the window at school where one used to come regularly to pick someone up, only a 3 wheeler however. It was the epitome of cool, but I was only 15 now 40 more summers have been.....

Twenty two. A very rare beast, indeed. Darren

2007 Defender 110 Puma 2.4 DCPU Stornoway Grey

I remember the three-wheelers well! Truly awful!

I didn't know that any four-wheelers had been built, but I imagine they were marginally less awful. What a rarity.

I occasionally see the odd Bond Bug and remember somebody having one local to me, as a kid, just like JMG said.

I think they're cool, I'd have one in my 'euromillions' fleet, but only to tow the bins to the gate

The four wheel versions were built in the early nineties by a couple of guys that had obtained a number of unused shells. They basically fabricated a chassis to take the suitably altered body and the mechanical bits from the Robin Rialto. Some of them have the larger 850cc engine, too. Darren
