It's exactly what it says on the ad a Santana PS10. A mostly Defender body, on mostly series 3 chassis and suspension, with a very nice 2.8 TD engine and a ZF (on post 07) gearbox.

They're a bit ****e though cause they never got the hang of building the leaks in properly

Think they went out of business. Used to assemble land rover knocked down kits?
More comfortable seating position than a defender apparently.

I know, you have to actually use the dipstick to check the oil, rather than just examine the drips I do like the fact that the back door and interior is designed specifically to allow a standard euro pallet to be slid in though.

Not out of business, exactly, just taken over by IVECO who now build a version called the Massif.

Iveco is no longer in production as far as I know, I am genuinely surprised about people not knowing about santanas? the pentland ranger service has a SW and it has a lot more room inside than the defender, good engines too, not sure about the fiberglass tops though

I have driven a couple of PS10's and I really quite like them. Although based on the Defender and series 3, they are not really like either to drive. The comfort is a definite improvement over the series 3, and comparable to the Defender as they are on parabolic rather than leaf springs. The interior is also nicer than the basic Defenders. The 2.8 tdi is a superb engine, comparable in power to the td5, but with the reliability of the 300tdi. Build quality though can be a problem, very hit and miss, with many of them being even worse than a Defender, and nowhere near as durable. Off road, they are more comfortable and capable than a series, but not quite up to the Defenders abilities.

my god, read the specs on this version..

Iveco Massif - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

on paper seems a much better version than uk made fenders...

but i`m no fender owner..

I saw one a while back where the owner had grafted on a defender front end, looked good and 1/2 the price of a 07 defender

dam good idea, landrover badges are cheap too...

Did they ever get round to making a 90 / swb version

I'm slightly suspicious that the wheel nuts and studs seem to have been sprayed silver in situ, and if I was buying I'd want the dealer to put it through a new MOT.

only swb I think were the earlier series based models

So is there more elbow room than in the defender? In particular the right elbow.
