I was going to say that. We have Hyundai ix35 and the bull bar on the front of that Landy looks just like the ones on the front of the Hyundai's.

why? it apears once it been passed through this cleverly constructed bar it will be ready to go straight on the Barbie

My first thought was that it was off of a Delica or something of that shape.

There's a lot of weird going on there:
- doors and rear windows match the age suggested by the year of manufacture stated.
- defender badging and grille certainly don't.
- there's only one windscreen but it has a series dash.
- only seeing one gear lever - no transfer stick or difflock disengager. Vacuum operated like a perentie?
- text claims ex-army but that doesnt gel with anything except hypothetical vacuum diff.

Anyone want to add to that list?

If you glance at it real quick you can see a resemblance to Jack Nicholson Smiling as the Joker. ..

I don't think it's weird lots if people bolt on and bolt off between series defender and ex army, simply because almost all the stuff is interchangeable

Would it be any different to any other two door vehicle with rear seats? Defender 90? A multitude of small hatchbacks?

Wonder if it still has the triton rear bar on it? Believe me its not just ugly from the front

I like the fact that it has zero kms on it. Too embarrassed to drive it perhaps?
