Just watched all three, in fairness they make a nice advert and i liked the looked of all three

The explorer would be my favorite choice

2011 Defender 110 Puma 2.4 USW Keswick Green

Is it the same music in all of them? It would sound more appropriate in a bond film, but perhaps that's the point.

Voice over is a bit "cut and paste" too, using same phrases as in other videos. 2011 110 USW

So for £3500 you get mudflaps, bonnet sticker, RAI, roof rack, spare wheel cover and that pannier thingy?

Triffic.

Surely that panniers thing would block vision in the mirror? 2011 110 USW

If they were to do it correctly for the 130:

It does - just look at the more recent tests on YouTube where many reviewers draw attention to the inadequate mirrors that are made worse by having the pannier on the side, especially in RHD vehicles where it creates a huge blind spot.

Watching the video makes it sound like there 2 two Explorer Packs - standard and upgraded, but there is only “standard”
I’ve seen quite a few new Defenders around here that have the Explorer Pack but wonder if the owner will ever use any of the bits or if they have them because in their eyes it makes the car look better....... giving more street cred in the rough and tumble of the daily commute. Pangea Green D250 90 HSE with Air Suspension, Off-road Pack, Towing Pack, Black Contrast roof , rear recovery eyes, Front bash plate, Classic flaps all round, extended wheel arch kit and a few bits from PowerfulUK Expel Clear Gloss PPF to come
2020 D240 1st Edition in Pangea Green with Acorn interior. Now gone - old faithful, no mechanical issues whatsoever ever but the leaks and rattles all over the place won’t be missed!
