Parabuteos lad 878 Posted January 29, 2016 Report Share Posted January 29, 2016 It won't be the last, they will probably replace it with something baring the same name but different quality and I'd imagine we would see a handful made in 10 or 50 years as anniversary models, I think vw done similar with the camper?

tomburras 2,730 Posted January 29, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 29, 2016 Yep horrible looking and over complicated no doubt. Should keep them simple like the 200tdi engine and fewer electrics. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Parabuteos lad 878 Posted January 29, 2016 Report Share Posted January 29, 2016 They become addictive I don't know what wastes more money, old landies or the bookies Agree, I bought on December 14 for 4K, spent 3k on it and sold it for 3k but I enjoyed it, loved it in fact. I had a 1989 90 and I'm planning on a new as possible 110 next Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ossie n Arch 1,682 Posted January 29, 2016 Report Share Posted January 29, 2016 God awful things. I've spent the last 20 of my working life driving around in a Defender. No wonder i've a bad back and walk around like the Hunchback of Notre Dame and have a permanently tanned right arm. But, it's a shame another British thing has been made redundant through being part of the EU. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
