| The cynic in me thinks this is a setup. JLR have stepped in, bricked their first defender with a SOTA update and now they have the G wagon version! The last thing JLR want is loads of low margin, ba ... |

List ~ £43K inc VAT for the base 90 HT. I’ve added mudflaps, wheel cover and 90 decal. ~ £600 extras.
I think it looks purposeful and with new 6 cylinder d200 engine it should be a very useful t ... |

The classification for a Car-derived Van is extremely well-defined in law and the new Defender cannot possibly under any circumstances fall into it.
Yes, spot on BlackWolf, I should have checked, m ... |

| Maybe the delay is because there is a lot of D110 stock to shift post C19. JLR may be hoping to switch some D90 orders to D110 by annoucing a long delay. |
