Yes it is but if that’s an aerial then the HT would need it too.

True, good thinking.

More practical for sure Steve, but I've had one 110 which didn't stay long and countless 90's - so on this occasion I am pretty confident where my heart is, the 110 in the same colour on the same pitch didn't seem to do it for me - but agree about the rubber

a 90 looks great but 110 will be more practicable and defo chunky tyres

Always been in the 90 (or 8  camp too and the new defender is no different. If I ever need to carry more, that's what the 3.5 towing capacity is for. https://instagram.com/bentheoandrews |

Managed to have a close look at a hard top with white side panels at a dealer near where I’m working and it appears the panels are stuck directly on the glass side windows.

I cant find it on the configurator, but can you order the commercial version without the full height bulkhead behind the seats? More like the old style in the D3/D4 commercial. Removable style cage, maybe half height at best.

Not that I’ve seen, bulkhead only. From the pics it doesn’t look too difficult to remove but no idea if that matches reality.

Am I right in thinking the 110 Commercial will require a Class 7 MOT going forward as its over 3050Kg GVW and not a Dual Purpose vehicle?
The lightest config I can see is 2420kg Unladen / 3150 GVW |

If that's the case then surely the Disco commercial should also be Class 7? GVW 3170 for the D300. https://instagram.com/bentheoandrews

I've had a look at the commercial variant online for those of you pondering adding seats etc.
Looks like the rear airbags are removed as well etc. So there is a bit of difference. |

Most pick ups have a GVM of over 3050kg but they are classed as dual purpose vehicles. Out of interest (and because I don’t know) why wouldn’t the defender be classed as dual purpose? Is it because it only has a front row of seats?
