2007 Defender 110 Puma 2.4 XS CSW Java Black

Some photos of an undisguised pair.

I don't know what the ettiquet is when it comes to posting stuff I found on Facebook. Hope this is ok. These are photos I got off a page called Media Motos. I guess they are doing some promotional filming.

I suspect the wiper is still prototype. It looks like the one on the diguised cars. 2007 110 TDCi Station Wagon XS

I notice these have been removed from FB, so I suspect they got out by mistake. 2007 110 TDCi Station Wagon XS

^^^ I do know what you mean, but I don't think these are the finished article.

We will have to wait and see, but no car manufacturer shows their hand this early in the testing stage. 2007 90 Puma - Love it - Best car I have ever owned.

Again look at that wiper and these presumably are left hookers, that would be right in the drivers view.

Cant see as that is a permanent feature, and if that is to change, what else will change with it? 2007 90 Puma - Love it - Best car I have ever owned.

Come off it Greeni, they'd look a lot worse than that if Kahn got hold of them

2016 Defender 90 Puma 2.2 XS CSW Aintree Green

Accepting the arguments that this isn't yet the finished article, but does that rear protection (below bumper) in 2nd picture down look quite flimsy - more for looks than function?

2007 Defender 110 Puma 2.4 DCPU Stornoway Grey

It has a Santana-ish look (like a Land-Rover but not a Land-Rover) to me, alien but not unacceptable. The Mk1 Cortina-like rear lights are strange.

I certainly prefer its styling to that of the New Defender.

2007 Defender 90 Puma 2.4 CSW Keswick Green

Trouble is, some aspects are so familiar & Defender-like that coupled with the bits that aren't, the whole thing is frazzling the brain...
I'm now thinking it would maybe be better if it was less derivative?

One thing I had not noticed before is the bars in front of the alpine windows. I would assume it's some sort of tie-down point for lashing things to the roof?

I also like the flush fit front windscreen. So very "Defenders" that the windscreen is completely flat. it's a Landrover thing...
