Had one - worst build quality and interior design of any car I've ever encountered. Went to a Disco 1 which was light years ahead and even more capable offroad. Defenders were/are massively overrated.
I got to sit in one of these lovely beasts. All I can say is… What a fabulous feeling you get when you feel the rumble of the engine as they growl into life. It’s unbeatable. Well bar lovely old Fergie tractors.
