So nice that you haven’t succumbed to only doing new press car reviews as so many others have. Keep it up 👍

@JayEmmOnCars 3 года назад

Nope got to keep the variety!

@Graham_Wideman 3 года назад

I'm guessing they won't be calling the electric version the "eBowler"?

@EleanorPeterson 3 года назад

Hi, Graham! I love that; wish I'd thought of it! We need more virus jokes in these parlous times... :-)

@thepolarblair1 2 года назад

We're not blind. We know all the flaws. Own one for any length of time and you become intimitaley aware of them as you gradually fix them. It's potentially a never ending project. But here's the thing. It's iconic, it has character and when I have to spend money on it I can just shrug it off. Infinitely modifiable and I just couldn't see myself investing the time and effort I would gladly expend on my defender on any other vehicle. I know it doesn't make sense but it makes me happy. Here's the thing though. Even my two year old gets it. He doesn't care about any other cars but "big brummy" has captured his imagination. Wee man just likes sitting in it. It's also really accessible if you like working on cars. A modest toolkit and you'll do well.

@TheMadTatter 3 года назад

this year, and we're only just in February, is proof if any were needed why Jay's is one of the top tier motoring channels on the whole of The Tube. The sheer variety and depth of vehicles featured on this channel is like nothing else out there and they're all impartially and honestly reviewed, and brilliantly filmed. Land Rovers are not my thing at all, but I can appreciate the video as a piece of the great online automotive archive.

@markwalton8644 3 года назад

Love your enthusiasm for a Landrover, I mean a Bowler!! The noise from that V8 was just fantastic. The one thing missing from this video was the off road bit. I think you change your mind about the defender taking it off road. Yes you'd never want one as a daily but there's a lot of fun for a petrol head when taking them into the mud!! Give it a go, it might change your mind.

@davekennedy6315 3 года назад

The Land Rover Defender is an iconic 4x4 vehicle built for where it is meant to be, so speed and comfort are not important. This does not alter the fact that it is a very entertaining video!

I used to work for Qt services who bought the manufacturing rights to the wildcat. Really fun job building those monsters.

@maxtorque2277 3 года назад

Spectre has a ladder chassis, beam axles and 37" tyres, so it rides like a plank. The P1 has a space frame (super stiff) independant suspension (RR based) and sensible sized tyres, so no wonder it drives a lot better!

A car I have always hankered after. Pretty much leave anything away from the lights. Nice non-descript primer grey and sh*t eating grin. Mixed emotions about Jag ownership bearing in mind how much they wanted for the run-out Defender that had been slightly dressed and breathed on.

@mowerman60 Год назад

I have had 5 defenders and not one of them have been,or are unreliable to be honest. You should buy one before you bag one !!

Unreliable isn't the same as needs a lot of attention. That said, I agree with your other points! Terribly bus like to drive and we're talking a bus from the 50s! They're just awesome and infinitely versatile cars, miss mine. P.s. the smile on your face when you started that v8 😂

Its because they are LR Defenders, that people can do this sort of customising and don't forget, they are an off-road vehicle that can also be used on the roads ..... not the other way round , so they preform accordingly.

Absolutely none. And I'm going to keep it that way. They're awful.

@skylined5534 2 года назад

@@JayEmmOnCars They're really not awful but for what you want a car to do they are. My landie towed and pulled things, moved serious amounts of weight from an engineering company and allowed me to get home safely in a blizzard and to also climb onto snowy areas with ease. Far from awful. Horses for courses.

@malp6280 3 года назад

its actually very disappointing to hear bowler have opted to use a Jaguar V8 in their more race derived vehicle as per the original series had a hybrid V8 using a mix of landy engine bottom-end & a TVR top amongst other items, which gave teh car the performance & snarl we're all remembering fondly from the top gear footages throughout the years etc & yes it sounds & erforms much better then the Jag item we've just witnessed... I'm just curious how much of a replica that Spectre land rover was as power should've been increased, which you don't really see in this footage it looks stock. anyway I'm curious how much a replica version would sell for compared to a genuine item as x1 is currently still for sale asking over £235K (reduced from £265k as its been stood for months) & their was also another sold at auction.

@skylined5534 2 года назад

What would you prefer both companies opted for? An LS1?

@malp6280 2 года назад

@@skylined5534 what are you going on about? if your referring to engines I'd opt for the original hybrid engine, as per my comment states, over teh Jag V8... why the hell would anyone opt for a 'LS' engine

@CrusaderSports250 3 года назад

Personally I have never really seen the point of trying to make off road vehicles into sports cars,it would be like putting a diesel into a Countach to give it better low down pull then a four wheel drive conversion, followed by big mud tyres and long travel suspension, if you want a performance car just buy one, there are plenty out there to chose from, unfortunately the motoring press didn't like the body roll that 4X4s had and criticized them for it, either through ignorance as to why it had long travel suspension or the inability to evaluate the vehicle on anything other than a sports car mentality, if off road vehicles have to be evaluated as cars then cars should also be evaluated as off road vehicles, tow weight, ramp over angles, abilities in mud, snow, water, etc etc, like for like that would be fair,

@edwardpurkis1084 3 года назад

As road cars defenders are rubbish, i love them but because of they they and there stable mates do off it. You really need to experience some less tarmac oriented Land Rovering at some point:)

@skylined5534 2 года назад

I had one as a daily for years and covered a good few miles in it. They don't make 'rubbish road cars' but that depends on your expectations and previous experiences of car ownership I suppose. Mine was a tail happy bastard in the wet though, had it sideways a few times... sideways like an oil tanker.

@springus98 3 года назад
