 Is this it for real, as in the flesh?

 Looks like someone has stretched a 90.  | ||

Have you seen the BIK charge on a D5 commercial if you're lucky enough to be in the 40% tax bracket....   It doesn't matter how bad it is, It can always get worse... 2013 Bowler 110 (Sold) 2016 Bowler 90 Rally Spec (Sold) | ||

| blackwolf Member Since: 03 Nov 2009 Location: South West England Posts: 18058      | Given that it has an aluminium monocoque I'd have thought it would be light enough to be a DPV and not subject to LGV speed limits. Does anyone know the unladen weight (nb not keen weight) of the new Defender?
 I think the image in the first post actually looks almost half decent. Shame the real images look so ghastly! | ||

 That is a very nice image of what could have been. Unfortunately its a bit like wishing for the Black Sabbath Paranoid album for Xmas and instead ending up with Now that's what I call Music 21....  | ||

 If those genuinely are unladen weights rather than kerb weights then it will be reduced speed limits for the commercial, unless it is lighter. That's progress for you. | ||

| walfy Member Since: 29 Aug 2007 Location: Frome Posts: 2718    | If the info is correct ref the qualifying of the new commercial for BiK etc etc then JLR have missed a trick. I certainly won't be buying if it's not 100% commercial qualifying, can't justify those sort of costs. Looks like I'll be keeping my current 110 a bit longer 110 D250 SE HT
