    I think I just saw the new defender

    About 15 minutes ago, I was sitting in traffic near the military rd off ramp at Neutral bay. Stopped at the off ramp was a black vehicle with a land rover badge, similar head lights to the current Rangies, slightly reclined grille, a tall-ish wagon style body with a little spoiler at the back of the roof.
    Looked a little too similar to the DC100 for my liking, but definitely wasn't anything that Land rover has for sale at the moment.
    I am hoping my dash cam got it but I need to review the video. It was off to the right hand side, so I am not hopeful.

    Intriguing. Was it camouflaged at all? How many doors? Was it boxy? Or was it similar to a D5?

    I did see a Landrover in Sydney as well on Friday afternoon that was a bit odd - only saw it from the rear and initially thought it was a current model Range Rover Sport but the rear lights were all different - not a Disco Sport - different lights and definitely not that ugly Disco 5 - not a Velar.

    Body was similar to a RRS/Disco Sport but completely different rear end and lights. It was twilight so colour was hard to see but looked dark green or grey.

    Dunno about that.I used to live in Cremorne. I couldn't afford a letterbox there now. Cremorne is two minutes from Mosman and Neutral bay.
