My friends have dubbed my defender ALBY after Alby Mangels apparently.Something about being able to go to remote places i think. Don't ever remember him driving a landy rather sailing a yacht. But the name has stuck and i like it. Just put the name on windscreen this arvo.
Mine is named AMY...
(After Many Years) - standing for the many years searching for her and many many years of very happy Land Rovering to come
:D
Amazing not one named "the antichrist" :D
Must be just a name for Series Land Rovers
Another 'Monty' here. You guessed it...we're Python fans :D
It was very nearly called Baldrick though.

mine is just called The Landrover,
lucky I've only got one.
when I had two Toyotas it was
The "White Toyota" for the 105 or the "Yellow Thing" for the BJ40
For some reasons Ive never associated Gender or Names with any on my vehicles. my wife says I'm socially inept , meybe that has something to do with it.
Ours is Sally D. After the VIN... before we realised that all TD5 Defenders have "SALLD" as the start of their VIN...
Stuck now.
It has lots of names, most not repeatable here!! :D
However, a few of the old names used in the owners club are:
"Sandglow money sponge"
"BYB" - Big Yellow Bus - CT 110, CT Disco, etc...
"LYB" - Little Yellow Bus - CT Freelander

I call my 110 "Peril" which is short for "Yellow Peril". My number plate is PER-11L
If asked, I say it's a reference to its colour and the way I drive.
But others of my vintage will recognise where the name originated.
