      I like the comments on G-wagen v. Defender. I never got the appeal of a G-wagen even though the new ones are loaded with new tech, they have lost some authenticity in the process.
      Looking around my local neighbourhood, G-wagens & Gucci seem to go together - Land Rovers & mountain bikes / skis / kayaks, depending on the season go together. My informal polling.

    I have a Heritage 90 and a normal 110. Your right, it’s so cool. You either get them or you don’t and there’s nothing wrong if you don’t. No sane person would buy one. But values are rocketing ( not that I would sell either of mine) and the smiles per miles are off the planet. Great series of videos, love them all.

    Apart from being a massive BL perv myself, there's just something really pleasing about seeing all the ancient switch gear.
    I'm not sure those switches are from the R6 Metro. They don't look quite right, but maybe the same mechanism under a new face. The hazard switch is from a facelift R6 (Rover 100), the earlier ones had a big blinking red button on the top of the steering column.
    I bloody love these final Defenders purely for the colour.

    • @smithandsniff
      @smithandsniff  6 лет назад

      True, but the MGF and the Freelander, being parts bin specials themselves, took them from existing BL/ARG/Rover Group stuff like the 88.5MY Montego and R6 Metro.

    I bloody love Defenders. With regard to everything falling off, part of the PDI for Def's in my local Landie dealer was to whip the door cards of to make sure the window regulator and glass clamp bolts had been done up. Apparently got fed up of 2 week old Def's coming back in the the glass either stuck or broken in the bottom of the doors. 😂 They used to turn up with bolts loose etc. The way they were designed and built was partly their demise, it was too fiddly and human intensive.

      I've always thought that electric made great sense for an off-roader, because you get massive torque at 0 RPM.
      I guess range is still the issue though, as part of the appeal of a landy is the feeling that you could just hop in, and drive it across the Sahara if you felt like it, and that's not as easy with an electric vehicle.

      Tom Range is getting better all the time as batteries get denser and new tech appears. Solid state batteries offer such a giant leap. 100 mile EV doing 1000 Miles with a pack of the same physical size. We are living in exciting times right now. Seismic changes in the way we move transport around. I’ve just watch a video of a test flight in a fully electric plane...the future today 😬

    I love that defender owners have a wave too. Also I know how you feel with the brutish drive. (granted mines newer) I have an 09 jeep Jk Rubicon, yes it's a bumpy and wiggly, the steering is loose, and there's more road noise. Not to mention bad gas mileage. But I love every bit of it. Especially with no doors or top, it really makes me feel like my jeeps in her element and unique. I do really want to drive and maybe own a defender 110, also a Willy's mb or early cj.

    Did they ever learn how to put these together properly before stopping making them? My parents bought a green V8 110 county new back in 1983, it broke down on the way home from the dealer, it leaked like a sieve, and the doors would regularly pop open on the motorway. They went Japanese after the LR and never looked back.
