Dan's spotted thread.

Figured I'd collate all my spots into one thread going forward. I see lots of landies about!

Proof for the nay-sayers that power companies still make use of Defenders!

We may have met then, I used to do quite a few jobs with PE and I've certainly spoke to the landy drivers on occasion. I remember one guy telling me his was only two wheel drive which I soon put him right on haha! 2011 110 USW

WPD still have I'd guess a couple of hundred at least, and I suspect will do for a while yet. 2011 110 USW

Spotted this lovely farmer spec 90 300Tdi today, barely a straight panel left on it. Had very faded side tapes too.

I'm not sure if you tried to attach a photo but I can't see one? As I said, WPD still run loads of them. 2011 110 USW

I see this one around quite a lot, very tidy for its age.

Great spot.

I love basic grey Defenders.

I see quite a few like that regularly, include a genuine beige one. Amazing how many 30ish year old Defenders are still knocking about. I forget the brand was renamed when I was nine! 2011 110 USW

If that is ex-WPD it's been extensively rebuilt, the only clue would be the holes in the body for tread plate and lamp guards, but I can't see any other markers. 2011 110 USW
