I was driving through Kew today and saw a slightly different defender. I did not have time to stop and take a photo as I was late for an appointment.
The fender was a 110 with a very new rego and was in a deep racing green colour which looked really good. The other different thing I noticed was the grill which was grey and protruded from the front allot more than the current one and had a different design. I only saw the front as it was parked in a side street as I drove past. Looked quite classy.

Did you notice the "POWER BULGE" in the bonnet too???
Its the new 2007 Defender.

Wait till you see the dash,shock horror its got a modern D3 style dash.

Yes it had the power bulge. I have seen plenty of 07 defenders but this one was different. The grill was definitely different (and looked much better) and the colour seemed more of a British racing green than the Tonga green. I may be wrong about the colour as I have only seen the Tonga green on brochures.

Aah, Ha!
Well spotted Amtravic1:) it could well be the new, 60th Anniversary Defender which will be on display at Cooma I believe:D I read that it was a little different, from the UK magazines.

cheers

Yeah - maybe that "deep racing green" was really black! ;)

Definately a green one and the grill is much better looking. How many of those 60th anniversay ones are they making, I can see quite a demand. Pity I cant afford one at present.

Not many - the figure has been quoted (or pointed to) somewhere on here, but the Australian number is something well under 100 from memory.

The grill definately looked like that. I did not notice any steering protection plate and there was no roll bars as it was a 110 wagon.
