New Defender too soft, new Grenadier too expensive, this might be your answer?

Ugly as sin
Bast**d child of Jeep Wrangler and Defender. Radio No Electric windows No Air conditioning Definitely not Probably noisy and needs to be driven rather than just steered. I want one, bet it leaks too  Just because you're offended doesn't mean you're right. |

Looks cool to me. But quite expensive. You could get a very, very nice Series or early 90 for a lot less money. And have no worries over long term parts availability.
I wonder if it has ABS, driver's airbag and all the other electronic gizmos that many on here have said are now legally required and cite as reasons why JLR couldn't build a low cost utility Defender replacement? Is there some form of exemption for low volume vehicles? I am surprised they can get away with the LHD wiper configuration as well. It must leave the top right hand corner of the windscreen un-swept. |

For £19900 you could do a nice rebuild on your defender possibly a BMW engine conversion too.
