Because overall they make little market share or ongoing profit from them.

Perenties made a lot of money and then they kept them 20 years. No ongoing sales there.

The Halo Trust think it just might.

I see they are working on a replacement for the OKA

Is there any detail on the rig in the background?

That is a late model diesel Pinzguer.

It's somewhere to sit....

There must be other reasons though.

Is it to hold a winch and act as a bull bar of sorts.?

Personally, I think it will be miles better than the old Defender, but it wont take off. I think it will be on the market for a couple of years and then disappear.

I think you’re spot on, or the G wagon market.
Limited access market and high prices.

I think people only like it because the shape is familiar. Other than that it’s nothing remarkable, nowhere near as customisable as the Rivet counters herald the Defender to be, and likely impossible to get serviced easily outside metro - like the current LR crowd consistently complain about.

Hats off to the bloke for giving it a go though.

what do you think the extended bumper is for - airbag requirement perhaps
