New range of Defenders for Australia

[Crackerjack]

I see that Land Rover is to release 6 more models of Land Rover Defender into Australia according to the latest LRO Magazine.

SW with 7 seats. They still had all the old stuff on the web site when i purchased it. just looked then and its all up dated so i'm checking it all out now. Not a hell of alot has changed. still can't believe 655mm travel stock on each wheele awesome.:p thats why i've been asking a heap of questions on here so i can kit it up really well and the RIGHT way. wast of time spending money on something that doesn't work LR are pretty good striaght outa the box so can't go wrong.

Is the 7 seat much more expensive than the 5 seat??

Not cheap..$2000.00
Not sure if the dealer ****ed me right in the arse with that. Think its becuase standard they are 5 and the 7 is a "factory fitted bolt on thing". I had to wait for it to be built. Only taken 6 weeks so far...:D.
The way i talked myself into the 7 seats was the family thing and few of my mates always want to come, the other idea was to drive 2 cars to the camp and then travel around in one thats kited to go anywhere (110). More laughs that way. Only bad piont is boot space lost but few bolts and you can take the back seats right out.

110 crew cab please...

[Ace]

Yeah i knew nothing about it and nearly wet my pants with excitement when i was reading the land the other day and opened the front page and saw the full page add with all of the new models there for all to see. This is a step in the right direction for land rover, with way more options than any other brand on the market lets hope land rover starts selling a heap.

I agree with Markyc, the 110 Crew Cab looks the go, very nice.

saw a new bulging bonnet 110 HCPU in Malaysian Police livery yesterday, it had truck cab and 8 inward facing side seats in the back with a soft top over the lot... finished in navy blue rhino lining - looked damn tough going down the north-south highway at 120km/hr with 10 blokes on board (no pics, not breaking the law to take photos of the plods while driving!)
