Never sure on the debate between altering a precious Series vehicle vs giving it a real purpose that can be really enjoyed by the owner.

At least it isn’t so precious that it sits in an air conditioned garage shut away from everyone, it’s still being used and giving lots of pleasure I’m sure. And it’s not getting the living daylights polished out of it every Saturday morning and being weighed down by layers and layers of polish like many Land Rover models suffer 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!

Time was when that sort of conversion was commonplace and you wouldn't think twice about doing it. Hard to imagine now, in fact it's hard to imagine doing that even to a SII or SIII now.

That's something else you won't be able to do with the new Defender! Rolling with laughter

Your right BW. Bit like the craze to bobtail two door range rovers. If they'd have known then what they would be worth now... Laughing 2007 - Stornoway Grey 90 XS SW - Gone
2002 - Black Discovery II - Gone
2014 - Montalcino Red 110 XS SW

I'm sure in time someone will look to engineer in a chassis for tired new Defenders or subframes for live axles. It may not be the most compelling of commercial propositions but someone out there will give it a bash.

I expect also that one day someone will "restore" that as a normal SI.

I’ve had Series Ones all my driving life and while this one pictured doesn’t do anything for me there are plenty of restored and original vehicles around, so if someone wants to modify their S1 well that’s fine by me, there is room for everyone in the Series One World, it’s their vehicle after all.

Completely agree, it's theirs to do with what they want. I may not like what someone's done to something they own, but I will defend their right to do it.

If it was an artefact of national historic importance that would be different, of course.

(I don't like what Landrover has done to the Defender brand, but it is their right to do it)!
