Thread: Antipodean impressions of Landies on the Continent ant the UK

So we are about a week away from coming home from a trip around France, Belgium , the UK and Ireland. I thought it might be time to put up some impressions of the Landies that we have seen....

Spotted:

A D3 G4 Challenge vehicle in Ieper (Ypres)
A Freelander on a Disco Chassis somewhere around Harrogate, didn't get photos, brain was trying to figure out what it was....
Not this one but very similar

A couple of very expensive Range Rovers, one an overfinch, the other a RRS Revere

With regard to Defenders, aside from the 90 they are nearly all working vehicles. there were a variety of new and old 110 station wagons that we saw but these were outnumbered by the commercial versions with no rear windows in both the 90 and 110.

I reckon they are kind of cool even if the console was an option....

A 110 dual cab working hard in the Scottish Highlands, the only one we have seen

And of course the special vehicles at the Land Rover experience

I suspect that I saw a 130 cab chassis with a service body on this afternoon but that is the first one that I have seen. It seems like all the nice Pumas were exported.
My apologies for the stupid sideways apple pictures......

Regards,
Tote

Very few of the duel cab things we see sooo many of here. Even soft roaders were few and far between.

You should have given me a shout and I could have shown you where the real beasts live!
