Well I ain't David Bailey but here she is
 Click image to enlarge Click image to enlarge Just read the handbook, interesting about the running in period 
Hope the 90 miles I just put on it is not enough to do damage, I was just so impressed with the extra gear on the trip to seek my son from his mum's it was hard not to overtake people 
I think the best bit of the day was when I saw it had 7 miles on the clock, up until then I was so worried it might have 100+ Oh and it was a sleepless night till I overslept and was 45 minutes late to the dealers :rolllaugh: Admin note: this post has had its images recovered from a money grabbing photo hosting site and reinstated  |

Nice
I almost got a utility but the double cab won as we have a large garden and generate a lot of rubbish that we need to take to the tip ! Also, I can throw my chain saws etc in the back of the DC when doing the odd tree felling job and then bring the unwanted logs back home, a lot easier with the open back ! Bob |

The shiny panels on a new defender don't look right.
The old mat paint looks a lot better:
At least the panels look more straight. Roel
