Imo there's not much evidence it will look much like that.

The red autocar render matches the binicle shot the closest( minus the lift and tyres is closest ive seen, round out the slope on roof a bit more, remove the silly rear bumper) add this to goodwood rock shots with rear and bond spyshot with emailed grill and ya can get pretty close in your head, still more to be revealed though if you look close

from a JLR employee & Defender driver who got a preview today:

Well I went this afternoon had a look...…………...Bloody AWESOME..... Some styling from the old one used in a certain way...The roof, Alpine windows and the rear of it shaped similar to our muched loved models. The rear lights tho been more RR than the old Mini sort.

Plenty of potential for other a commercial version but not to sure on the pick up. We only saw the 90 version with is a 5 seater, plenty of leg room behind front seats but not really a boot. The dash board has style designs from the old RED prototype at Gaydon, with a big long deep tray from dash pinnacle to passenger door. Auto box and nice touch screen in middle of dash board.

Big chunky motor, that....hopefully if we can build them right, will do us good at JLR..

Chatting to a few of the other fellas there, we reckon we should really build it at....THE HOME OF THE LEGEND...

YEAH, had a good look around and underneath front, felt very tough plastic, holes for spot lights and winch . great approach angle

Motor, hopefully if we can build them right...

But I like our Defender in white. Very practical in hot weather.

Interesting you say very practical in hot weather, in tropical south east Asia you very rarely see white vehicles, mainly black or grey! Mini buses seem to be an exception occasionally.

For sure white or black.

Basing it on the Disco/RRS pricing, only Fuji White and Narvik Black are free. Otherwise for any other colour it's $2060 for Metallic and $4110 for Premium Metallic paint.

When looking at FFRR pricing, Metallic is free and premium metallic is $1875 but, then you can have the SVO paint which starts at $8500 up to $23,150 and some POA.

It's interesting that the Disco Sport paint pricing is a little over half the price of its big brother.

Hopefully the Defender paint pricing is similar to the DS.

All my previous defenders have been white! I did have an almost cream off white coloured 2A in the early 80’s. Would love to get that one back,
