2011 Defender 110 Puma 2.4 USW Orkney Grey

"DEFENDER" front badge

Do you think the Puma has the front DEFENDER badge missing?

BTR1045 is the part # - think I'll order one.

I wonder why they stopped fitting them to the Puma? Defender "Puma" 2.4 110 County Utility (possibly the last of the 2.4's)

Or maybe this variation....this'll really agitate the anti-4x4-lobbyists

2009 Defender 90 Puma 2.4 HT Santorini Black

I could be wrong but did the font of the front Defender badge and rear one on the pre-Puma Defenders not match up? Or look slightly similar?

Can't remember without looking at one.

Presumably they stopped fitting it as there is the 'LAND ROVER' lettering on the bonnet instead, and it was all starting to look a bit busy?

Is this the badge of the TD5 around 2000 etc?
Is this the only badge of its type, or were there variations...ie, was there never a metal one etc?
Cheers, Pickles.

Buy a rubber A bar. That has Defender along the top.

Land Rover Defenders. 67 years heritage, minimal appearance changes, still going strong all over the world. Not a fashion vehicle, but fashionable to own. Made for the needy, not the greedy. Ta ta Defender

There was a metal one for a short time, fitted to Stage 1 V8's. Not sure if it was ever fitted to early 110's beyond a handful of prototypes though. Darren

So, you couldn't buy one now?...No Part Number?

You may still be able to get one through a specialist like Dunsfold Land Rover, I guess. As for the part number, you'd have to trawl late Series III parts books.

Sorry, just realised - the metal badge says Land Rover rather than Defender. The latter name didn't exist until around 1990. Darren
