In Australia, these things are everywhere, however you rarely see Defenders kitted out, it's usually Landcruiser mobile fridges. MPG figures will be 'interesting'.
Gracias por los subtítulos en español. Un vídeo muy completo. Yo tengo un defender también y quiero viajar con él hasta cabo norte. Lo quiero camperizar pero no sé si en España hay la empresa que realiza el cambio de techo. Me has dado muchas ideas. Gracias.
biggest miss here - and especially for going through slightly dodgy areas is that you are cut off from the cab- if you need to access the back you are forced to move outside- I suspect this is really for people who a) never will go "wild" or b) stay in Europe ....
In the thumbnail, the van is sat there with the roof up, the awning extended and then the video maker sat out in the middle of the field with his table, chair and beer. So what was the bloody point of the several thousand spent? You could just have a landrover and a beer.
Shame it's illegal on UK roads. Driving with spot lights or work lights and dipped beam. It's also pretty much throw money at it and you get the vehicle. Nothing really differnet to the other few hundred out there these days.
Great build. But… With a vehicle with obviously so much value, a carnet de passages will cost an absolute fortune And in a lot of African and Asian countries vhf radios are illegal. Even in the uk, you will need to pass a test and get an ham radio licence, unless of course you mean CB.
Failed at the first hurdle. It is a COUNTY Station wagon, not COUNTRY. The saying goes, “you can drive a Land Rover into the outback, but you can drive a Toyota back home”. I’ve had numerous LR products all crap for reliability. I was a fool and purchased a Toyota instead. Why do you think no one in the Middle East drives a Land Rover?
I have found both my prior 1964 IIA 88 and my current 1988 110 to be reliable, though I admit that it requires more attention from the owner to be so. I understand the arguments for a Toyota and don't doubt it does everything you ask of it. But at the end of the day it's a toaster, by which I mean that its utility is its only selling point. Put another way, it has no soul. The value of an old Land Rover is everything except its utility (which it certainly has in spades). It is analogous to a Douglas DC-3: More work for the driver. Slower and noisier than more modern designs. The subtle smell of gasoline and grease. The chorus of rattles and squeaks. And that firm feedback from the roadway that drive-by-wire and multi-link suspensions hide from you. I drive vintage Land Rovers because I want to DRIVE On the other hand, it's Christmas evening, I've had a few and I could be full of (Christmas Cheer). Merry Christmas Metal.
Not much good if theres lions about if you got cook outside they'll pinch your bbq😅 , bit daft youve got setup everything outside that would piss me off on second day if im not eaten by the pussycats😂😂
You could go anywhere with that, I would take it across Europe in winter.

The power plug on the rear you mention is a Trailer plug? Who would have known 🙄
That is a very pretty Defender, and well sorted
Great for landscapes like Norway or Iceland!
I guess it is pretty off topic but do anybody know a good site to stream new movies online ?

Uro Camper puede hacer el trabajo, es una empresa española.
What model and year is that defender?
Doesn’t look as though it’s done a single mile anywhere other than popping to Harvey nicks or Harrods for some champers for Tarquins party.
I have a defender for going to Serengeti and off road. from Tanzania

TAKE MY MONEY! Oh, wait... I already own a Defender.. Ahhh, whatever. TAKE MY MONEY!
Why are u selling all your cars?
It’s a nicely sorted defender, like hundreds of others kitted out just like it.
Hyperbole isn’t really necessary for a good presentation, mate.
Jesus! How much does this thing weigh AND cost?? Is all of that really necessary??
Put a price for sale as
It is , accept ???

For the money you can hire a car and stay in great accomodation every holiday period for the rest of your life.
Or save money and stay at home and never go anywhere.🙄🙄🙄
