I like Nathan’s reviews, he’s in point and hilarious! 👍
Absolutely agree.
😂EESA05098758993X899200XX
That insignia on the vehicle, seats and steering wheel is the regiment insignia of the British SAS (Special Air Service)
Thanks for confirming the SAS. I was not sure.
Those guys are hard core. I believe Ian Fleming’s James Bond was former SAS.
"Who Dares....Wins"
thats Rupert Murdochs car... ive seen him at the Starbucks where i work
Bear Grylls is my guess
Awesome video. These guys have such a great sense of humor. "This vehicle would actually make Tommy grow facial hair." Some other channels are so dry and technical. These guys give you information and a laugh. Thanks Nathan
Love how Nathan often takes creative, funny shots at Roman. So well-deserved, too!
😒ASE9875050899T8392398A
"Alot of people that buy these dont know how to offroad". Truest statement of the year my friend #FACTS
That Land Rover is sick... shout out to the owner
Apart from the cringey SAS badges.
I love these just hate how the starting price is $200k definitely a dream car
@Abel Harbour really, rebuilding from ground up, American engine and tranny swap, upgraded (in other words they work) electronics.
These are not the pos work horses ya have in ireland..
That is one awesome Defender with some major American muscle. Love to know the 0-60 as it isn’t the heaviest.
Sweet build. A reliable Defender, unlike the new ones.
Love it
Fantastic
Very much a custom Defender
I hope the lucky owner really enjoys it
👍
I like when Nathan does reviews!
He's one of the best.
Nathan you nailed it with macho stuff!
That’s a beautiful looking defender. Great video!
Finally somebody review one of these builds🧐
For that much money, I would be highly disappointed in the fit/finish of that interior.
Now that's my kind of D110! The only thing I'd change is back to a set of OE white 12 hole steelies, maybe widened for the bigger tires. Not sure what this costs, but if I have to ask..............
You guys need to do something with Jonathan Ward from ICON 4x4. Their version of the FJ is my dream vehicle.
Awesome Nathan ! While you are in Florida, you need to go visit Renntech in Stuart Florida. 1.5 hours from Orlando. Hartmut Feyhl the owner of Renntech brought AMG to the USA in 1986. He and his company are the preeminent Mercedes Benz tuner .. I’m sure he’d love to share some of his creations with you guys !
We were doing that years ago using the Rover V8 aluminium motors, and up specking the diffs!
Interesting. This is where $ can do what you want. IF you have it. :). The exhaust note did not seem any different between the 2 settings. Shame they went with GM product power plant. But to each their own. Great to see Nathan getting in on the travels to other states. :)
Wow! A Land Rover that isn't rubbish.
THEY MADE THE LR RELIABLE AND FUN , NATHAN PROVES THAT
Great review - and I want one too! That setup was awesome
nathan is the jack black of TFL lmao 6:21
Excellent review!
I don't think you mentioned it in the story, but was this custom built for a particular person?
Yeah I was wondering the same thing 😂
My dream truck in every way except the orange interior. Wow how fun would that be in Colorado!!!! Get the owners name amd invite them out.
it might gives tommy some facial hair, hahahahahah, nathan is hilarious😂😂😂
TFL and coffee mornings are awesome.
I can't wait to see your build! You have to go for it! 🙂
At last a land Rover with a reliable engine and Air conditioning. Nathan is really funny without Hamming it up like Andre.
There are several companies in MN like Bishop and Rook they start at 12k fresh from the UK and you can go up to that style or build it yourself which I think is great!
The emblem is British SAS badge.
Make sense.
Yep, plus colour means Bear Grills 👍
Bear grills knife is the same colour.
Fabulous review.👍🏼
Thanks guys for the great content.
I love the rear seating! I wish they made something like that with a more modular, owner customizable design for a much better price that’s not a jeep.
An LS3 in a classic Defender? Sure, go for it.
Air suspension in a classic defender? Burn in hell.
Great video guys as usual, for another interesting LR Defender conversion search for Tesla Defender or EV Land Rover Defender, you won't be disappointed.
thats what im working on right now gen4 5.3 or ls6 paired with 6L80 transmission and an adapter to connect to my lt230 transfer case
Similar, having an LC9 (5.3) and 6L80e transmission put in my ‘85 Ninety SW.
waooooo My dream motor car old model Land Rover Defender''',,,,i love this is perfect old model style Land Rover''
Nathan This thing or a G Wagon? Love to see that comparison video
Awesome review, incredible customization to an awesome LR Defender ... X O California
The last review I watched from Nathan he made fun of Roman's hair care products. This time he made fun of Tommy's facial hair. Nathan you should make fun of Andrea in your next video.
It's got cxjones!!
LS the world.
I like it.
Jump seat prop is supposed to face back towards the base of the seat, not out towards the middle of the vehicle.
The emblem on the steering wheel is that of the British SAS (Special Air Service), so the owner may be former UKSOF.
Someone at the local Cars & Coffee has what appears to be a stock 1967 Mercedes 190D, until you pop the hood and see a Corvette engine.
I'd take/build this over a G63!!
Any chance of doing a review of a NAS Defender?
S.A.S. Special Air Services "Who he dares wins".
It’s just “Who dares wins”
Now its worth driving
My guess is it's Bear Grylls'.
It becomes reliable. That the answer to your question.
Definitely would option cummins
That is pretty bad-ass. Not a fan of the orange interior myself. Unfortunately I can't afford one. If I could I would get cloth seats and rubber flooring though.
Now that's how you do a video on a cool vehicle and make it fun!
Great presentation Nathan. Love the humor.
"Who dares wins" this is British SAS military unit logo.
Why is there a SAS insignia on the seats though???
Hmm this costs more than a flagship Range Rover V8, a Merc G63 AMG and Bentley Bentaga (diesel)? That's a pretty tall order...
What happens? It gets more reliable, that’s what happens.
I have a 99 Rover HSE 4.6. I am gonna look for a used vette engine n see if I can make it a sleeper
Wonder what axles it's running?
Nathan and Andre make this channel, hands down.
Whoever this customer is RICH or less richer after this purchase
Probably one of the most reliable Land Rovers ever 😂. Yeah I'm sure there's Land Rover owners with to 300,000 miles on their vehicles. But for the most part all I ever heard was headaches. I even spoke to a Salesman once from a Land Rover dealer, he said some of the clients Drive the rentals more than their own cars. Maybe the old stuff was more reliable?
I sold my 2007 L322 (Full size) Supercharged Range Rover with 335,000 miles on its original engine & transmission. My mechanic told me that wasn’t heard of on that engine.
That looks expensive lol.
That seems to be an SAS logo on the steering
There is a better life, only it is more expensive 😉
Awesome rover...except the orange interior, little too much orange. Just a personal taste thing. Orange piping and stitching only on the seats would be enough for me.
Easily the best Defender I’ve ever seen.
The orange is Bear Grills company colour.
@@jamest5149 Bear Grylls....yeah. Like I said it’s a personal taste thing
Love it!
Not too much on everything makes it perfect
Your video editor needs to step up his game next time Nathan says something would give Tommy facial hair I expect to see that image flash up on screen! LMAO
I guess orange is the new black.
Is it more reliable?
I would sell my arm for this truck...
I will take the electric powered one with 180kWh battery and 400mile range with 4 in wheel hub motors 600bhp from the Amsterdam based The Landrovers
Good
Awesome!
These are great but no one talks about the lack of safety features in these $200k+ vehicles. No air bags, and barely any protection or side impact, etc.
You're missing the point of this vehicle...whomever owns this most definitely has a late model vehicle with all the safety features as well.
@@stanludorf2311 I don’t think so. US can only import 25 years and older. From what I’ve read, one of the reasons defender left North America back in 97 was due to the air bag and other safety regulation which they didn’t want to build into this vehicle. It would be good to see the list of safety features these customs do come with or are able to build in.
@@denishb6587 no one cares about safety features on a toy like this.
Rogan has one
So, is the owner an Author...... Needs Gullwing rear window but awesome :)
Robin Masters aka Higgins. Not SAS but close enough.
Was the owner able to build it how he wanted? Did he choose all of the options? 😂 was it custom for the guy who ordered it? lol
You need to do a story in a Jonathon Ward.
Highclass trash maybe? Cmon its such a cool truck and i respect the people and hours put into this thing , but an LS ? Finding an old rover V8, building and boosting that , would definitely inspire some not recommended financial decisions.
Rover v8s are garbage, the V8 that would have come from the factory in this 110, if so equipped, was based on a GM engine anyway.
@@stanludorf2311 yes i agree , i feel like i said build that rover engine not bolt it together , also please correct me if im wrong but werent they using engines from everyone ? I know buick was the main but ive heard of others.
@@robertbelote5273 the only v8s they used in Defenders (except for a few hundred in the last year or two that got the 5.0 Range Rover engine ) was the Buick v8.
@@stanludorf2311 oh ok cool , a genuine thank you for that.
Dana White maybe?
I’d take that over the Urus reviewed elsewhere on TFL
How does Nathan know where to trim his neck/chin beard? It all one unit!
I'm buying this with my lottery winnings
I'd stick to 300 TDI
Bear Grills?
I bet this thing is at least $250,000.
…one of the FEW things we do well..?😑. 😁
Nice video. B U T, that is NOT at ICON level. Not at all. (kind of ugly IMHO)
It becomes more reliable
It was perfect until they put an automatic in it.
Agreed
It breaks down faster
sell your house Nathan and you can buy one...
What happens when you put a vette motor in a toyota? Lose reliability ?
Those motors are actually pretty dependable.
I'm sure there are other people that slap a Chevy v8's in their Tacomas, lift them and put super swampers on them . Especially in the south.
