Monty Don's morphing Land Rover
I've just got round to watching this week's episode of "Who Do You Think You Are", and can't help but notice that Monty Don set off for his childhood home in a TD5 110 Station Wagon and arrive there in a Puma. Most peculiar... Confused Peter

They could use Land Rover UK's Continuity Person as they surely must have one... However else would they turn so much stuff out with exactly the same problems... Shocked Proud owner 110 Utility XS

Oh damn I noticed that it started as a Td5 and then swapped between two different Pumas too.

Actually my Wife called me sad for noticing at the time Whistle MAD COW

Maybe he is just a hard-core LR fan and has 3 different Defenders? Laughing

There was a good reason for this.
The first Defender conked out between Hampshire and Nottingham and was replaced by Land Rover with a slightly different model which then collapsed on the M1 just 30 miles out of London (neither times when driven by me) The third made it to the end of the three weeks filming - hence the three different vehicles.

As it happens I have my own Defender - a pick up 110. 1998 I think. It is my 6th Landrover and my favourite. I use it solely for going to and from - and on - my farm and fill it with anything and everything from logs, heavy machinery and tools to sheep. But I most certainly would not want to drive to Dundee and back in it on top of a 12 hour filming day!

I'm most touched at receiving a reply! Although I am a little disappointed in as much as I hoped eutek was correct in his guessing that you were a hard-core fan with three station wagons. That said, six Land Rovers to date is hard core enough in my book! Thumbs Up Peter
