2020 defender

[Neil]

The thing that has me curious in all these leaked pictures (at least they haven't managed to fix the leaks) is what are the mesh things at the front concealing?
Just noticed the grille ahead of the door, hot air out or cold air in? Judging by the video of it swanning around in the dunes, engine air intake. You can just make out the raised air intake under all the camouflage

protection for radiators?

A Defender with stabilisers, what a great idea...

A bit difficult in traffic, I'd have thought...

Al.

[Land Raver]

It looks better than I thought it would. Round headlamps and steel wheel option would help win me over more.

 

[Neil]

Is that the dreadful, tacky, checquer plate on top of the wings?

 

[Guitar Mick]

Hmmm. does'nt appear to have the usual clamshell bonnet, so back to solid wing tops?

and springs that go "boing"
Which reminds me I saw a series, a little while ago, with a sticker on the back "The only place for a coil spring is up Zebedee's 4rse"
Course you have to be of a certain age to know what that particular phallic symbol was

 

[Guitar Mick]

Like that and yes, I qualify on the age thing too !!

Probably wrapped to look dirty. It would never get that muddy in Chelsea!

That matches the pic of the front of the new defender taken on the Bond Set already posted by gstuart.

Yeah, not a single one of these people look like Defender drivers. Most likely actors that LR hired as part of their marketing campaign #lol.

You mean that they couldnt find any of us suave, sophisticated, good looking genuine landy drivers to use and had to hire some in...? Outrageous!
