Sure you don't need a brown one? Too much glare trying to film a white Defer.:D

5 days in the surf is going to kill most electrical and mechanical systems, on any car. If your offering enough money too fund a rebuild of the vehicle after the filming? It may be more cost effective and beneficial to all concerned to use a much older and less electronically dependent vehicle like mine, weeds or in the picture you supplied.

As I explained before the surf sequence is a part of 5 days filming 2 of them in Noosa it is not a commercial about a car driving in the surf for 5 days, that is just one part.
I will offer you vehicle up you never know they might go for it,that is how it will work I can keep offering different choices and the production company will make the decision based on many different factors.
Also you say an older car like the one in the picture I supplied what year do you think that is??
thanks

Dobbo's is an 85 model I think, the recognisable shape didn't change between the early 80's to 2012ish :)
The biggest visual cues between Defenders and Countys are the colour coded flares on 80' Countys vs black on post 1991 Defenders, black firewall vent panels on air-con Countys, decals and they got rid of that god awful pooh brown when the 80s went out of fashion :p
White is the most common colour by far and has always been available :cool:
No-one but a Landy nut can pick the difference between a 1985 County and a 2006 Defender. There are subtleties such as roof design (ribs on older models) and blanked-out air vents (but could be easily body-coloured for filming) as well as door handles. It's not like the difference between Jeep models, for example. May average people can't pick the difference between a Series vehicle and the current model, because the basic profile is unchanged since 1958.
I would think though, that if there is a continuity match required with another vehicle, that 1991-2006 would be the acceptable range. The earlier models have enough differences that they would be detected side-by-side. In the range mentioned, the only visual changes were that some years used body-coloured roofs and some used white - but a white vehicle gets around this. AFAIK all white Defenders have black wheel arch extensions. The only subtle difference is that some will have factory air and some aftermarket - the difference is an inch forward or back on the grill location. I doubt the average punter could pick that, even side-by-side. Matching the accessories might be trickier.
Xtreme defenders had colour coded flares. Not black
My 2004 90 wheel arches are black..Quote:
