Last Defender.

Yes i was thinking about Army and Fire plus OS. Those classic images of UN defenders for e.g OS military also.

It wasn't that long ago from what I understood so it sounds like JLR kept the last one for themselves until recently.

There is a new Defender too. It was shown at a dealer conference in Portugal a few months ago. He's surprised there's been no leaks. The team he is in saw it last September. Apparently it looks good. Different to the rest of the LR lineup.

It’s good to hear a new Defender exists!

Will the launch of the new Defender be a revelation, or a wake? We’ll see. But I suspect that anyone who owns a late model puma Defender will be able to say they own one of the last in the not too distant future.

Surprise surprise ...Not everyone wants a luxury vehicle.

Hmm I hope so. But some think the D5 looks different from all the other clones too!

Round headlights is what I'm told! Chequeplate guards and bonnet as accesories and Bullbar for the Au and SA market.

FWIW I did the VIN decoder and got 2016, which I already knew. Bought my 110 from Trivett Land Rover Parramatta in June 2016 after it had been released by Land Rover for sale. It had 27kms and I drove it back to Melbourne. Traded in my 2014 90 for it.

Very similar to what I was told by my local LR dealer.

Both my friend I mentioned earlier who works at JLR AU and a guy from Land Rover Experience.
