Land Rover dealers will happily sell you the Minor Collision Package to remove all the car parking dents - again if you can get out of the thing once parked. Just remember not to back it in in a multi story car park so you have the option to enter the vehicle via the rear door.


Now I understand the "walk through" option in place of the front cubby!

And it’s not the first time a Land Rover designer appears to have part copied something - this 1970’s vehicle predated the Discovery 1 by probably a decade https://petrolblog.com/2010/03/whatever-ha...ra-rancho/

I’m really happy with it...

Makes the decision to keep my defender and not “upgrade” to a new one a whole lot easier!!

Interestingly, I valued my defender on the Land Rover website as a part exchange over the weekend. They offered £15k (subject to inspection)!!! We buy any car offered £21k.

I’ve also noticed that my local dealership, which has had two late (MY2015) 90s sat on the forecourt for a couple of months, have reduced the asking price for both of them.

Perhaps, Land Rover don’t want any of the old ones sat at dealerships.

Also, has anyone seen a proper review? There are loads of videos on YouTube of people walking around it, but I can’t find any of an actual road test. 2011 CSW XS 90

I haven't heard of any reviewers being allowed to drive it yet, although some reviewers have been taken for a ride by Landrover official drivers. I don't think that there are any "proper" reviews yet, just walk-arounds and first impressions.

I've been curious to see what the lights would look like if they were in the right place...

I saw a White 1 driving around Leamington earlier. Didn’t notice if it was a left or right hand drive

How long before the snobby dealerships (most of them nowadays) ask you to "park around the back sir" so as not to pollute their forecourt if you're in a proper defender.
