    The new HERITAGE DEFENDER 90..

    This as we all know is the last year of production for the iconic defender,
    then thats it, kaput, gone, byebye, tata, so long...

    In the "final year celebrations" they are releasing a limited number of these heritage and adventure models..

    I really like the shorty, it reminds me in parts of the early 80's and in parts of series 3's... yep I like it, I'd still love to see a recessed grille area back to the earlier series (its very feasable with the huge fan cowling area reduced)

    this is photos only, Im not sure about the HUE166 references as they look "tacked on" especially on the seats... but yeah seems OK!

    worth a look.. and a read (and I like the sand sculpture/drawing they released yesterday too!)

    The new HERITAGE DEFENDER 90..

    It's only tuned slightly up and it's only the Autobiography that gets it.

    Simply speaking BAS already does a tune above what this is coming with.

    A bookshop is one of the only pieces of evidence we have that people are still thinking

    I have asked for pricing, it would be nice to get an all in one kit rather than bits & pieces.
    Interesting, max hp or max torque, i would go for max torque @ 2000 rpm rather than max hp
