Thread: 43 Brand New Land Rover Defenders In Storage

Pure speculation ...back in the early 90s the US forces bought a goodly number of Defenders with the TDi engine because it runs quite well on aviation kero. They bought them for their special forces who could then use the same fuel dumps as for their helos. some of the ones pictured are LHD. Perhaps they were part of a "long forgotten" "foreign military sale" order which someone has just 'discovered'... like I said , pure speculation!

I am the one to apologise and I was not referring to any members, but more to the fact that World support bodies can waste so much money buying much sort after vehicles and not deliver.

Was those vehicles intended for use in a country that has become torn apart by a war after their order was placed?
.

Had a quick look at the link, One line explains all, 12 of them are td5 ROW spec so either 07 or special order 08. The suspension stuff up is probably just an employee with NFI
One time an employee of a insurance company said she didn't know anything about cars and didn't know the difference between a landrover and a Toyota landcruiser.

Hi Mike - all good - I dont think Wrinklearthur was having a go at you, and I certainly wasn't either

Agreed the specs of the vehicles don't line up, and the original poster comes with a "history" of spam...
