United Kingdom 1989 Defender 110 V8 Petrol CSW Bonatti Grey
New Daily Driver
New toy delivered yesterday - C250 CDI Sport Auto, replacing a C320 CDI that I'd run for 94k in a bit of trendy eco downsizing.

Twin turbo 2.1 is a bit gruffer than the old V6 but certainly seems to go well, the Command system is fantastic (first voice control system that can understand Glaswegian) and the tax and fuel economy benefits are substantial - I think of it as my RPI 5.0 V8 fund...

Won't match my Land Rover off road and there's no V8 soundtrack, but you can't have everything!

I agree.

If it's anything like it's predecessor it will rarely turn a wheel at the weekend - me, kids, dogs and ( depending on occasion) Mrs Alfajock all prefer to potter about in a 23 year old, slow, noisy Landy that drinks like Amy Winehouse than a "premium" fast, comfortable, economical German sports saloon!

Some say we Land Rover people are mad - I prefer to think that we have higher knowledge Thumbs Up Fully Restored 89 110 CSW V8

Nice drive - have been considering a C220 estate to replace my petrol thirsty M3 (2 cars doing 28mpg is pushing the bounds of sensibility really) but can't get past the old man in cardy image of the Merc Laughing
