Well my wife and I have collectively waved at more than 30 new Defenders with a total return wave of ZERO!
By comparison just today we got 100% response from 3 older Defenders.

Sadly the cause is lost Simon!
Even though JLR built my new one, has a green oval and a Defender badge it isn't doesn't register!
I'm selling my "real Defender" at a greatly inflated expense to the highest waver!
Pulled up at the lights yesterday in our black puma 90 next to a black puma 110! The driver lowered the passenger window and we exchanged greetings. Lights changed and off we went!
I've missed a few lately. Didn't see them until it was too late. I've had a few enthusiastic waves from the new version lately though.
Since Ive been daily driving my Series 3 lightweight 6 years now , thats every day , I ve seen ONE series LandRover & obviously exhanged waves . I always get waves from Jeeps & Jimnys , and most cars older than 30 years but nothing from any LandRover that does not have a split screen. Theres a bloke in town that daily drives a Td5 Defender , he dosen't even look, not a hint of recognition let alone a wave . It certainly is a lost cause.
Went up to Bowral today and saw about 5 defenders, not one wave back though, I was in the RRS.

While test driving a customers Defender (classic) I got my FIRST wave from a new model Defender driver!
who would have thought such a thing...
