The Ultimate Getaway Vehicle: Land Rover Defender 6.2 V8 Flying Huntsman 105 Long Nose | Kahn News | Kahn Design

I really like that a lot. Volcanic Rock Satin paint (yeah ok) looks like cast iron. Absolutely perfect colour for that car. Interior I could care less about... but damn the rest of it looks great. Wheels good size too - think that is 37"...

They say it is a Defender Long Nose... ? What model would that be originally? The long hood looks good on it.

A specially built one to accommodate the V8, no defenders came standard with a V8. except County Spec.

We have toured to all the of the places you mentioned in our Defender 130. Top End, Gibb River, Tanami Track, Flinders, Vic High Country, Outback S.A. with out an issue. But what everyone has said TEST drive one and then you will know.

County came stock with a v8. The recent limited edition jobby has only a V8. But yep apart from those the Deefer unfortunately missed out on the beautiful thing that is a petrol 8 pot.

Cheers

In truth I would like the motor from this in my D2...

Hell, Semi trailers drive fine on the street. Love sitting in them and they got HUGE wheels and travel across the entire country on a daily basis. Must be ok. [biggrin]

Dude! so you are only interested in how it might look! Not interested in actually driving them! LOL! Good luck!

So, if you had posted the same question on a jeep forum, would you have had the same "emotional" & quantity of responses in the same amount of time?

I rest my case.

It was jeep people that told me to check the defender out since space was a concern of mine :)

Brilliant! Problem is: ALL new Land Rover offerings are currently in the same category of BS banality! Big urban sports cars pretending to be 4x4’s. Fat wide wheels,etc The IMAGE of adventure. How it LOOKS. Without Defender pffffftttt.
