Thread: So does anyone believe that this bloke actually drives a Defender?

That metrosexual in the RM ad has '90' written all over him. Never see him in a 130 though.

But keep an eye out for it soon as tourism ramps up again.

It's actually really quite a fun gig. You drive your car to locations, where they might do drone shots and video etc. Then they usually do a heap of stills and they will get the 'talent' (paid actor/model) to pose with car. But, if your lucky you might get in the shot. I'm pretty proud of my hand modelling skills on the wheel!!

If you want to get into it for fun, and think you have a suitable vehicle, email a bio and pics to advertising/ talent agencies. You never know when they might have a client in future that wants a defender.

Hmm... Wonder if they want a clapped out D1? Or a Series III if i ever get it going again?
