I said upper class landy, not upper class lady! hahaa. I wonder if she chose the roof colour.

Caption: 'Oh I must say, I do like driving a land rover.... its just a shame the roof colour on this one is so very middle class!'

That is her actual Defender, you can lookup the rego.

Recall someone posted the specs for it here, it's a special build for Betty, V8 from memory (!) so she may have picked the colours!

I think mine must have been built for Betty but she knocked it back. Chassis Number:444110. When new.

Yes , same with me. Mine came with the hatch. I've been considering a reflective film for mine. It would make a big difference. I'll do it before the summer comes.

For goodness sake put the film you use on the OUTSIDE - think that perforated vinyl used on vehicle signage...

Many a tempered glass sun roof has shattered with an additional layer of tiny underneath... its a thermal thing ;)

Does she still have it? If thats a proper A reg, its a 1984 Land Rover 110. Pre defender badge, earliest in the generation. I don't think there were many with matching colour roofs back then - what a rebel.

Maybe her latest one has the black pack and she's hoping to get a kahn body kit for christmas! :o

I thought that the Land Rover badge above the Grill on HM the Q's was asymmetrical, but there's something after the Land Rover. What is it?

I think this is the original article, your dates are pretty spot on manic.

Go for the black roof, as part of the Black Pack.

Looks the business.

110, cos its a 110, not a Defender.
