    All Defenders seem to fare badly if they roll, old or new. I have seen a few shots where the roof is down to the height of the steering wheel, almost completely flat. The window/roof struts are not substantial enough. Good reason to put in a roll bar or a Milford cage or even a full roll cage.

    Was this actually a Land Rover? I can't bring up any news sites at work but I saw the car on the TV this morning & it looked like a late 60 series Land Cruiser. The TV reported called it a Land Rover though.

    common problem .... anyything with a boxy shape and remotely tough looking is called a 'Land Rover" by some reporters. Just like any vacuum cleaner is called a "Hoover".

    Funny you should say that. A lot of the new Defenders we receive here are Jeeps according to the transport documents.
