    Wasn't that the Henry Ford quote for the old Model T, which I'd hope you don't actually remember!

    I have turned down the offer. In reality a decent Defender will cost between 20 - 40 thousand. Now spending a lot less will get my SIII all coiled up and rebuilt, probably have change for lockers, winch and goodies as well, I then have the ability to have a convertable. And have change.

    If she wants it black there's a paint roller in the shed.

    If they were not selling Land Rover maybe they might go full circle again .
    It was Henry Ford on the release of the model T.

    I rather doubt it was on the release of the Model T - seeing they were available in a variety of colours until about 1912 when Ford really started to get the production line process going. Also, in the face of competition with different colours, the last couple of years of production were also available in a variety of colours.

    The TV show I watched said that black was the quickest drying paint at the time so they chose black as the standard colour.

    They also said it was the model T.

    This article sheds a different light but who trusts Ford\Land Rover anyway? http://www.modelt.ca/background-fs.html
