G'day Spudboy

Advertising Defenders they must have made a mistake OR somebody has at last woken up that the Australian public would like to buy these vehicles next thing they might even rethink the 90


cheers

Yer i have seen the add.
The last one i saw was advertising for the 90 and it had the slogan 'We have just cut the price of the Defender by two an a half feet" and had a side on veiw of a yellow 90 next to a 110 and showed the size difference.

When was the last time anyone recalls seeing a Defender advert? It's all been Disco/RR for the last 10 years I reckon.

Anyway - good on them for doing something at last. Hope it translates to new sales.

"Runs on the smell of an oily rag" is my last recollection of Defender (110) adds.

Don't figure they would have to send out too many invites from the last 10 years or so sales (but I got one)

Bout time LR spent some money on advertising the Defender.
One never knows--they might actually get some more sales for our beloved Defender.
I'm looking at buying a new Defender next year(just waiting on a new contract that coming up next year) otherwise I would have put my order in already.

That's got to be good for the brand

there was that add in 04 with a silver rangie, silver disco, silver freeby, and a silver defender all from the front view cant remember the phrase on it though. Was in the 4x4 magazines.

Yes, heaps of adverts. Funnt because someone saw the adverts and went for a ride in mine and said the adverts made it look luxurious and plush and he wasn't so sure it was realistic advertising haha.

I just took delivery however and don't think the centre diff is working, uh oh..... I might be wrong but..... I doubt it. I must admit I even turned to the user handbook to make sure I was doing everything correctly, I was and kept trying and no luck. BUT, I chucked her in 1st low and traction control kicked in and she walked up the rocks I pointed it at.
