What a shame there is no sunroof on any of the 100 Wagons.

At the Melbourne Motor Show, they had a Euro spec 110 Wagon which had a manually operated sunroof.

I was hoping that the sunroof would make it to Australia, since they deleted the front air flaps....

Love that 130!!!! I see it's got the wolf rims and zxl tyres that it comes in the UK with as well.

Are you KIDDING? How much dust do you want getting in? Defenders have enough sealing problems without adding more orifices.

I spotted the convoy of new defenders yesterday also. They were heading down the Wolgan Valley late in the afternoon, probably to stay the night at Newnes. Later I saw their tracks which came out of the Newnes plateau area (down Blackfellows Hands Rd), so I presume they had been playing up there during the day. Only saw them flash past down the road unfortunately, but they are easy to spot due to the hump on the bonnet.

Will have to keep an eye out in the press/mags for the write-ups...

I hope these 'new' Land Rovers aren't sold off to unsuspecting buyers.

Motoring journos sometimes do terrible things to new cars.

Good spot, Ace!

I hope none of the press fleet vehicles cack-it like the D3 last year or the year before. We'll never hear the end of it then.
