Where I live near Inverness, there are lots of farmers who've converted to jap pickups instead of defenders. They're cheaper, faster, quieter, drier, and cheaper to run.
Losers have all gone native.

Defenders rock.
 
I always get mad at holiday makers doing 40mph everywhere....except when in the series.....because i am flat out and can't keep up!! rofl!

Most arable farmers drive Range Rovers these days. Dairy farmers will have a newish Defender or a Jap pick up of some sort. Sheep, beef and market gardeners will have the "farmers special", £175, beaten up jumble of parts which might be mostly Hilux, some bodywork adapted from a disused shed, 4 road tyres of different makes and major components held onto the vehicle using baler twine.
 
Several fenders round here and quite a few discos but its more like L200 city tho , see loads of them every day round here .
 
most around here have a nice new jap double cab for going to the mart sale and an old war horse defender for actual work, complete with twisted bumper and both front corners dented, obligitory ivor williams canopy and set of white eight spokes passed down landy to landy. got to have paint worn off from havin the elbow out window and baler twine hanging out the tailgate, plus mental sheepdog.
so many like that round ere i was whinking it was a standard dealer spec or somethin :)
 
Dunno about what the farmers round here drive but we see plenty of Landies like these on the roads around this time of year!! :D
