Principally because the front grille is missing the two little rings/hoops along the top edge, to the left and right hand side that can be clearly seen on the original version but not on this new one. The grille could have been changed, or the little hoops cut off, but I'm not sure why you'd bother.


Heh, heh, as evidence goes that sounds a bit tenuous to me but who knows? Without more detail I think it's impossible to say. Darren

Rest assured that the reports of £80k have been greatly exaggerated.
Also, it’s not the same bonnet.
Also, remember that people are free to do with their cars exactly as they see fit. As long as the owner and the person doing the work are happy, everything else is just opinion.

Great to see someone with his options and resources driving an old Land Rover and supporting local shops where he lives.

GP1 I quite agree! I think it's great to see him driving such a beautiful Series.

I do however, shed a little tear when you see what some people do. I do try to keep my opinoins to myself, I won't mention Khan Big Cry .

There will always people who don’t like things and feel obliged to share their opinion. I always wonder if they also go to people’s houses and comment on their choice of furniture and decoration.

As far as I can see in the photos, a series has been repainted in its original colour, had all metal work regalvanised, new stainless fixings, new wheels, new stainless exhaust, new removable hood set up and maybe a nice new interior. Don’t see an issue with of that tbh.

Well, the top picture made me start searching for SIII on t'internet. Sadly it takes me to Williams Classics which has a lovely selection of pre-baked Series vehicles, it is just the price tag that's uncomfortable. I really like the 109, but £29k is more than I'd want to pay. Very pretty though.

I've seen Beckham junior in his Defender parked outside the office in London (Gt Marlborough Street). When money clearly isn't an object, I think it is good that they both choose to drive something from Solihull, and not some blinged up Kahn creation!

I think both 'versions' look great Thumbs Up


Agree from someone who can drive anything it still looks cool. If top gear still had the cool wall this would be ICE Cool along with some super cars. Its a different cool Thumbs Up

Good to see Thumbs Up It looks very Cool n Vintage, especially with the rear colour coded cross member. On their site each car is basically rebuilt, with around 1000 hours of time so you can see with leather options, engine options where the money goes...

Just look at Twisted stuff even without the LS3's the cars are £100K plus (with a 2.2 derv), then there is
'The Landrovers' https://www.the-landrovers.com/custom-build-to-order/ doing up market refits and
Arkonik https://www.arkonik.com/en-GB/inventory/ another refurb / retro builds for sale at $200,000


All seems fair to me, if their is a demand, I would love being involved in building these Smile


Anyway I love it, and here are a couple of Cool n Vintage beauties

Cool n Vintage. All the porn a man needs during lockdown. Bliss.

On DB, I love his passion for all things British, fashion, cars, classic/heritage brands, British countryside, British food etc. Land Rovers are no exception and he’s had many. I very much like both the original and newer version, whether one and the same or separate vehicles. What his passion does do, whether directly via his 70m Instagram followers or vicariously via Brooklyn, is to keep the icon at the forefront of the public’s imagination, vital in this era of blobs and McGovern travesties.

Talking of his passion for LRs and his multiple ownership, it does make me wonder if he would change an original spec S3 rather than simply buy a new one. Perhaps that’s the reason for the mentioned price tag. Who knows.

Good on him overall, he is a great ambassador for all things British. Thumbs Up Monsieur Le Grenadier

I've not been everywhere, but it's on my list.....

Can't see a problem with people expressing an opinion, whether they like the vehicle or even him.

Although the Sun's headline of a few years ago (Ten brave Lions. One stupid boy!) was a bit harsh.

Personally I don't give a monkeys.

Because Series Twos are better! Laughing
