Some better spy shots at last!

Haha, is this the third or fourth thread on this media release?

Hmmmm well the first things i notice that im a little worried about are....
Tyre diameter looks small and the space is tight to fit bigger.
Too low
Sloping sides.

We tend to do a lot of soft sand driving and sleep in the back of our 110.
This looks like it will belly out in the deeper ruts and id damage the front underside for sure.
Then there is the less practical room inside being angled.
I love the side table we use that hangs against the flat rear quarter plus ease of mounting a shower and water supply.
Not much room for a ladder either.
Im hoping once the covers are off and we get to have a proper look that these issues i have wont exist or at least easy to work around.
At the moment it looks like a D4 replacement rather than a Defender replacement.

Very heavily camouflaged including false panels all.over. see for eg under door glass. They may use smaller wheels with taller tyres in some production variants...way to early to tell what's it's going to be like except the wheels are pushed to front and rear to allow the best approach and departure angle. Will need air suspension to be competent of course.

Cheers

Ladies & Gentlemen, I give you the new 'Defender Psychedelic'[smilebigeye].

I guess another important question is if I can get 12 bags of goat poo in the back? [emoji16]

All together, that could make it look very reminiscent of the old Defender with monocoque body and a bit more rounded.

I think it has far more potential for turning out really well than did the previous prototype.

Ha! Not the design. ...the marketing spin!! just because they say it, don’t mean it’s true!

It has special iconic nappa leather goat poo holders specially designed by Jerry McGov in Saville Row.

Actually, I was wondering if it retains the flat top to the front mudguards to rest the chainsaw on while sharpening the chain. The tray at the back will, presumably, comfortably hold a tonne of ironbark?

Goat, Sheep, Llama, Elephant, Crock, you name it a bag is a bag, but in the latter you'll finish up with a "Crock of ****"[smilebigeye]

You should ask Jerry McGov for a job as a spin doctor! 🐊💩
