Thanks for that
I'm obviously just not old enough to remember that! Wink

That Chief Tester guy should be in charge, he described the Defender as the "Icon Of The Brand", good man!

Roger Crathorne is a bit of a Lode Lane legend... He was interviewed recently (April?) in LRO and had been at LR for years doing just about everything at one time or another.

I remember that film and stopping in to watch it especially. They did something similar back in the early 80's , filmed at Bovington Test ground. They had a series 3 up against its rivals , never been able to find the footage anywhere. I last seen it when at a car show at the old Bingley Hall in Brum ... Putting Dreams on Drives at JLR Solihull..

Not a great deal I think, can often be found at the larger historic events though sometimes in the commentary box.
He once ended up in the lake at Woburn Abbey with my old man Laughing
