Looks like the Land Rover episode is the 10th and last one which if my finger counting on the calender puts it at the 29th of March. Here's a list of the previews

Allegedly, the Range Rover Sport SVR that was filmed being hammered at Gaydon
Is actually a sold vehicle that is waiting on delivery to a customer.
Fresh tyres and the clocks erased and it's a good as new apparently!! Shocked

It seems that the tribute to the Defender episode is to be on this Sunday 15th. Found a few spoiler pictures as some of the preperation work on the Series was done locally.

Here's a long shot

Seems there was a little help;

If you look closely there's either a double pull through a snatch block or a safety cable

Now that's a fair winch!

Needs a bit of extra oomph to run the hydraulic motor

Not the sort of kit that you'd find in many Series

Wow - not for the first time I've thought that a "making of Top Gear" film would be better than the acttual programme.
