70th Anniversary V8 anyone

https://www.lro.com/blog/news/defender-works-v8-70th-edition

Does sound like a nice idea.
But does not say it has a LSD diff.

Cheers

I like it

bit of a bargain starting at £150,000, lol

maybe thats to match with only 150 being produced

£150k for a second hand defender

i’ve just noticed that

It is sourcing 150 second-hand donor Defenders from around the world which will form the basis of the reborn vehicles.

Not sure much on them will be second hand by the time they are finished.... Would not surprise me if a few liberties were taken with new galvanized chassis.

This is true but for 100k you can get a g waggon g63 which will be a better car more reliable more power etc

Put some carpet tacks in that mix as well......LOL. ....................

True, but I reckon the LR will be worth more money in the future. Bet they do not hang around for sale for long.

absolutely and would assume they would indeed be a complete nut and bolt restoration

imagine they’ve already been bought and agree will be worth a good chunk of change

can just see Mr carothers off for a weekend shooting on the bamoral estate in one of those

I'm not sure I'd fancy getting to 60 in 5.6 seconds in my defender
For 150K, I wonder what they do to stop the door bottoms blistering
In the video the major selling point seems to be the 'defender wave'.

Don't knock it, some days it's the only thing that gives me hope for the human species..

I really like it! Nice that LR have actually done it but £150k does seem a bit steep, though I expect they are basing the price of the LS/Ford conversions which may now fall in price!

Still though you can get the road going Bowler Bulldog for ~£70k

Look like two people on Defender2 have ordered one... None of us lot seem to care that much hahaha

hope they buy mine!

Who In the right mind would pay all that money for something that's going to get full of mud and water, and scratched and dented on every panel, the first time they play out??? Or is it just all for show and will never be used for what it was originally designed for!!!
Just don't see the point!
But it is masturbation material though !!!!! Pointless, but sexy !!!

I highly doubt anyone would ever take one of those off road properly... I also can't find a single video, picture, thread or post of any LS Defender off road either. I know theres about 5 or so people, maybe more, who have LS swapped fenders on Def2, not one of them has left the tarmac afaik

for that kind of money I would rather the amg g63
