I've actually seen a bit on this car before, but as the video says,.."Incredible".....pretty much the perfect Defender for me,....LOVE IT.
And the young owner was a very impressive young man, IMHO.

Me too.
We have a 6.2L supercharged engine in our current car, but same in a Defender would be the ultimate.

Wonder how getting engineering would go?

No chance in Tas...don't think we have any engineers here now anyway😐

Vic looks most promising for mods now...eg. portals have been approved there but never in Tas.

Think a 6.2 90 LR would be v problematic!
