United Kingdom 2013 Defender 90 Puma 2.2 SW Keswick Green
My new Defender
Pictures of my new 'blank canvas' 2.2 Puma when I collected it on Friday!

Spare wheel is now mounted on the interior bulkhead, seat rail riser/extenders fitted, Night Breaker bulbs installed.

Now just a stereo, wheels, tyres, colour-coding, roof, sound deadening, side-steps, cubby, springs...........

Leave the wheels and the roof mate I love the classic look, seeing defenders like this makes me wish I found a green one. Get the sounds sorted first don't forget that when you're driving it you're in it. And the sound of everything land rover gets dull rapidly.

My husband sat in that when it was in the showroom. It is absolutely superb.

Classic look, functional, purposeful and unless you are vertically challenged, the side steps just collect dirt, corrode and spoil the lines.

With that colour scheme - why bother with alloys? Nice set of HD Wolf steel rims would complete the functional look?

Enjoy it and thank your lucky stars you didn't end up with one that makes you look like a wannabee drug dealer.

If you do fancy a small modification - consider fitting the two small rear windows either side of the rear door - makes reversing and seeing what's behind you a lot easier.

Very smart Thumbs Up I love Keswick Green. I've ordered an XS in that colour, just hope I've made the correct decision as I like the base model for it's practicality, less to go wrong. Time will tell!

Im very jealous. proper nice looking defender. Glad other people like the classic look and its not just me. Some off road tyres and it would be perfect.
I agree with Cuthbert , it is nice to see a defender that doesnt look like a drug dealers work motor.

Nice one, I hope its a good un for you Thumbs Up 2003 Td5 90

I would be very interested to know your thoughts on the Duratracs as I am looking at swapping my AT2's in for a set of them soon. Running Restoration Thread http://www.defender2.net/forum/post323197.html#323197
