The confusion is that I repair and drive military Land Rovers every day and 90 % of them are green.

As a 'Brylcream Boy' for the last 30 years I don't fix 'em but have driven military Land Rovers a great deal. I usually break 'em and get MTMS to fix it! Ours, on the other hand are quite pretty compared to our Army brethren's, the glossy green one's come with a white roof that shows up the bird Censored more, the blue TD5s are a quite nice shade of blue, the bird scarer's is yellow and we have some skanky white ones too. The green ones are a bu993r, you can polish them all friggin day and try as you might you cannot get the matt green to sheen at all......

There's the new 'Izmir blue'. I don't know how grey that is. Lago grey was the one I was thinking about - slightly darker than the stornaway grey. One that started out as a 2.4 TDCi 110 XS
+ New Defender 110 First Edition

No Idea Big Cry
It looks like the web site builder is a bit of a thickO. Note that there are no 'flat' or farmers colours shown.

I can't help but think these impressions that are on the Land Rover website are a complete waste of time.

the link below is to what I think is an Izmir Blue Def. Almost look Silver?

and why change from cairns blue to Tamar blue (they're almost the same aren't they)?

The discussion on the colours of military Defenders is purely accademic



There's no colour that can be changed by a squaddie with a big pot of paint and a yard brush MAD COW

True but in reality are very different. The dealer in Germany has a rack with 10cm X 10cm pices of steel sprayed in the colours- it really des make a huge difference.
