Sorry to be that guy, but the Defender didn't get that name until 1990, not 1983. It went from the Land Rover Series III to just the Land Rover 90/110 in 1983 then in 1990 for the launch/update when the 200tdi came out it got changed to Defender 90/110
why, best to avoid, considering what happened to the TFL youtube channels new defender !
@@mixalis6168 YAWN
@@Archiepopop why a yawn? It's consumer advice. Imagine spending £80k on something that simply doesn't work.
@@sweetfreedomGB Err, what are you talking about.
This is the good old car review.
The Defender and Tiff Needell. Couldn't miss this one out.
Tiff is a gentleman and i sincerely like his way of presentation. Best of Luck Tiff
@J Are uhhhhh what
Tiff is a class act. Been following him for over 20 years.
Where has it got you to. Nowhere
@@theone7644 you’re right. Thanks for reminding me of the loser that I am.
@@theone7644 Cnt.
Didn't he turn round once and say hello?
@@theone7644 Haha
Tiff really is a national treasure
Tiff is a legend. One of the greatest driver’s I’ve ever seen. Never forget how he handled the Mitsubishi Evo’s in the 90’s in the old top gear, pure badass.
Proper driver, not like Clarkson and co
Watching Tiff doing a review is like popping on yer old favourite slippers and sitting by the open fire with a single malt - aahhhhh 😁
Love that!
@@lovecarsTV The Defender name didn't appear until the early 90s.
Excellent comment and could not agree more 👍🏻😊
Except today Tiff is doing paid promotions of new cars and pretend it is a proper, independent test.
Still makes me laugh when Clarkson said "the two people whose opinion I respect most, The Stig and Tiff Needell"
Having owned an old Defender, I scoffed earlier this year at the new incarnation. Then I purchased the new P300 version six weeks ago and I've had to eat my hat. It's just superb. I went for white steelies so I wouldn't get to precious about ruining the Range Rover style alloys and they suit my rural area much better.
That voice takes me back to the 90s when propa car reviews were on tv 🧡
He's still on RUclips for you!
I appreciate that you talked about this vehicle for what it is, not for what the name is replacing.
Tiff is a proper old school motoring journalist, and that's a good thing!
I think tiff and chris Harris could really make top gear great again if they done it together
Tiff Needell just miss you and your car reviews. Land Rover Defender and your Review what a comeback for both
Amazing to See Tiff do a review solo..more of this please.
More to come!
@@lovecarsTV Excellent
Have always enjoyed Tiff's reviews
Its good to see Tiff, and a proper review. Thanks!
Amazing to see tiff again doing motoring jornalism ❤️❤️
Great to see Tiff back at it
The first Defender review I’ve enjoyed thanks to Tiff, it’s even made me like the new Defender a little bit more but not as much as the original.
Love your videos and the enthusiastic sense of presentation and humour !
Glad you like them!
TIFF’s DNA is in a race track, It was tense watching him going through the mud as fast as he did. Very entertaining though 😂. Tiff is a living legend 👍
He Definitely is!
I see Tiff, I click! No second thoughts :)
Great review as always! Waiting to buy one of these in about 3 years, post initial depreciation.
Same here. When our Disco 3 has had enough, we'll get a Defender. The Disco has been brilliant though, on and off road.
In India we shall probably have to wait till 2030 for the vehicle to become affordable even after depreciation kicks in.
And the sad thing is we just get the option of the 4 cylinder 2 litre Diesel here which I think is underpowered for such a big heavy vehicle.
Nice job Tif, informative and engaging. A proper review.
Thank you kindly!
I’ve soon discovered after watching this that I really need a Land Rover Defender in my life!!
Glad you enjoyed the video. 😏👌
Tiff awesome to see you review cars again, great review thankyou! More please :)
More to come!
I'd forgotten that Tiff had a civil engineering degree in college.
I’ve been following Tiff since the early days on Top Gear, a national treasure!! Best car reviewer out there with amazing driving skills and the fire of a competitive racer. Subscribed .. 👍🏻👍🏻
Wow, thank you. Glad to have you here! 😁👌
Great video..Tiff is a legend
Ive always loved Tiffs journalism. He’s the only reviewer Ive watched who correctly called the exposed Torx screw heads. Most call them (incorrectly) rivets. Great to see him reviewing the new Landy.
Ha, It's the little things like that make Tiff so popular!
Tim always has one of the best reviews
Thank you!
This the best paint I've seen on the new Defender so far.
I always click when I see Tiff. Like this Defender quite a bit! Maybe a replacement for our 2020 XC90 in a few years.
Always glad to see Tiff
😎👍
Classic and Genius Tiff Reviews , This is what gets people interested , He leaves us hanging , It must be good
Glad you enjoyed it Lee 👌😁
You can trust Tiff to give an honest review.
Always love a review by Uncle Tiff. Great looking car but way too much dependence on electronics to be too serious as an off-roader, surely - at least in remote places. Also, not being able to fit smaller than 18" rims because of the the brake assembly will be a show stopper for many.
FINALLY A TIFF CHANNEL :)
A proper decent, classic car review!!
Great review by Tiff !
Lovely review from tiff pure viewing pleasure
Where i work, we make the exhaust system for the new defender, and ship them to Slovakia, and also most JLR, vehicles, Range rover and Jags etc.
So you’re the one to blame in case of fail ones?
Great demonstration....I want one!
Glad you enjoyed it Dave, we do too. 😁👍
to be in your 60s and to have no belly at all... some people are blessed.
Good grief, Wiki says Tiff is 69.. He looks late 50s at best.. Must be doing something right?
I think racing drivers try to keep lean and in shape. At least that's what Jackie Stewart wrote in his book.
Maybe everything he does is in moderation '
Like spending money !
Enough is just enough 🤣
Or maybe he just looks after himself.
We forget that professional racing drivers are also elite athletes.
Tiff you are the one to beat on all car reviews ...brilliant
It’s one very class presentation and very informative. Haven’t heard the word “Blimey” for a long time.
Glad you enjoyed it John!
Probably the best car ad/review I've ever seen.
Thanks, glad you enjoyed it!
This guy knows how to talk car talk. A car poet.
We have one, in the same colour too! It’s superb
Lovely review
Also Lucky you tiff
Every msgs have name
you must Be VIP , well done👍🏾
clearly the best fifth gear presenter was tiff
Obviously!
@@clubracer6 o
tiff and jhonny smith (car pervert, late brake show) are on par.....both incredible
@@markhood6654 to be clear i like all of them. i admire tiff and platos btcc experience and vbh and jonny are great (no 'h' in jonny)
This car is everything as an allotment lover to horse rider to big city lad in Leeds. The best of the best.
Great to see him again :)
Fantastic test marka Tiff Needel
I’m impressed. Have always loved the old Defenders. Would like to see a more off-road looking one. Off road tires etc. would like to test drive one . One day. Bravo to Land Rover
Glad you're impressed Richard, we are too! 😁👌
Great photography, liked the video production but then The Malverns always look majestic.
Totally agree!
It's no farm truck anymore
Nothing like it at all, but u know what I still Love the looks of the original for me its Always been the ultimate real off road, that was build with 1 thing in mind go anywhere a car can go
@@daboy12s I understand you well cause the original would shake your fillings out But why Not build the original using modern engineering technics? as even after So many years it Still Looks the Best n most purposeful build of ALL off roaders on earth, all u have to do is look at the original n it tells you am the king of all off roads hands down
The best Discovery LR has ever built 😉
If it was named "Discovery"...most of the critics would be in silence about this new "Defender".
Exactly, but it seems that LR is feminzing all their designs now. The Discovery already looks like a woman's make up box.
@@DonFather that radiators near the wheel arches are a give away for what were they focusing with this new Defender.
The new Defender is certainly not a Discovery. The new Discovery (Disco 5) is more of an entry level Range Rover in terms of luxury, the new Defender isn't. Get over it. It's a new, modern re-imagining of the Defender, made for its time, just like the Series was made for its time (which was a good 60 years ago).
@@DonFather I don't find the new Defender remotely 'feminine' but that's a matter of opinion, therefore, subjective. I have never liked the looks of the new Disco 5 - I find it oddly proportioned, especially in the rear. It would have to be a Defender for me if I wanted a Land Rover, or a Ranger Rover Sport if I wanted a Range Rover.
@@DonFather bit sexist
Tiff’s a brilliant presenter 👍
So beautiful land rover
Great review by Tiff. One of the few UK journalists who can't be bought by manufacturers. Will always remember how approachable Tiff was at Thruxton Btcc a few years ago. Chatting to myself and other fans! National treasure.
Its unique.. it has good road presence im loving its styling..
exceptionally well done car review. 👍Tiff
Thanks glad you enjoyed it 😎👌
Gotta luv Tiff...!!! 👍😊
Phenomenal!!
Looks the like the previous generation Discovery and it's a lot more pricey now, but it was high time they updated the old Landy.
Nice car and great video
does this car have adaptive cruise control?
Good to see off road section with Tiff holding the steering wheel properly thumbs on the the wheel not wrapped around. Well done!
Thumbs wrapped around is only used for racing. When you're off road you have to have thumbs not in front of the wheel because that is where feel of the road and control is completely irrelevant to the driver. So it's not worth the risk.
@@seren1ty755 thumbs on the wheel is the correct way when offroading to prevent sprained wrists or brocken thumbs as steering wheel can whip when tyres fall into a rut or push off a rock. I was praising Tiff not criticizing.
@@waynesmith678 yes I'm aware of that. That's why I said you shouldnt wrap your thumbs around the wheel off roading.
Tiff is still the best of the best.
AMAZING
Tiff, you are one of the few old guys that are cool, you are only second to mick
Whenever i see Tiff i click Like immediately no question about it ☝
Hit the Tiff-Like button!
@@lovecarsTV Nice!! Haha 👍👍😁
Where was this filmed? That is a beautiful region!
Land Rover nailed this car. This is exactly what a 21st century defender should be.
Add me to the chorus of people happy to see Tiff. :)
👌😁
Tiff you are my hero :-)
Good old Tiff - could never afford one but liked the review of it - were you driving in the Malverns?
Glad you enjoyed the review of it. The Malvern Hill's are an excellent testing ground for it. 😁👍
grandpa... you are different and unique than any other car reviewers.
auto subscribe !
If you look in the glove box, you’ll find the alternative Discovery trims and badges.
Looks like Ineos will make a simple utility vehicle.
It's a great legend to have.
Tiff-y Bear Picnic 😁🐻🐻
Is this show coming to the itv player? I can’t find it
Our TV show can be found on ITV4! Search 'On the Road' on ITV Player!
I see Tiff was actually driving the outgoing D240 although he was talking about the new i6 engines.
Not a great fan of the face but it is pleasantly understated, and would be my choice over any garish German you can think of in this category.
I thought the same thing... but it looks so much better in real life.
Lovely shots along the Malvern Hills! I worked at LR for 10 years, and can't help feeling they should have made a small Defender for people living in the city - isn't that why the 90 is popular in London? A sort of City Rover/90/Evoque mash up that's luxurious to be in, but can deal with parking knocks. BTW, an Evoque is on the limit length-wise here in NYC for street parking.
Why anybody living in London would even consider one baffles me
I would love to see one drive Sydney NSW to Broome WA - that will be a test.
Would they be through the middle and across the Simpson Desert, or round the coast?
Better stay around the edge to far away from support technology in the middle
I was looking up why the original Landy was created this evening for some reason. Apparently, one of those reasons was that we had to ship most of the 200,000 Jeeps that the US had lent us to play around with during WWII back to the US between 1946 and 1948. Well, it was called "lend lease" I suppose. But who would have thunk it!
Who'd of thought it 👌😁
Land Rover built a true great with this one!
😏👍
Enjoyed that Tiff, it’s one of the few vehicles I’d swap my Cayenne S diesel out for I think. I tow regularly and it off roads’ almost daily BTW but it’s also great on a euro tour. Don’t fancy either RR, RRS or new Disco but this Defender Disco would do.
Good choice!
It's the best 4x4 I could find for towing.
You can't beat a Tiff review. Keep 'em coming! I really like the look of the new Defender, it's modern can do all the old one did but a lot more comfort and can handle being on the normal roads at speed as well. I am sure old Defender purists hate it, but I think Land Rover pulled off the impossible.
Now we might get an honest test. Tiff tel it how it is. Can it be fixed in Nepal by the locals half way up a mountain like the original?
Name any modern 4x4 that can?
@@gc2234 land cruiser 70 still produced for Australia
@@Gklasse oh right I didn't think I needed to specify this, but how about a vehicle designed in this century, and not just made for ONE country with no emissions or safety regulations? 😂
@@gc2234 Beg your pardon? No safety regulations in Aus what are you smoking? Christos point is there are so many electronic settings in the all terrain system if they malfunction your cooked. It’s not as if JLR products are actually reliable either. Just look at the TFL channel and their brand spanking new Defender lol.
Bore off
Would love to know where the off road section was filmed, anyone know?
Looks like the Land Rover test course that the other reviews were filmed on.
Looks like Eastnor Castle
Exactly the same car iv just been watching Richard Hammond review (same plate)
Yeh and the same PR exercise
Hammond wasn't allowed to go off-road though lol
Eagle eye
Exept Hammond spent more time talking about the dog he had with him
Where is that video. They've removed it?
Used to drive an old 110 defender for railway incident response, absolute dog of a car travelling 50 miles to get to the incident but fantastic once you get through the access gate, then a dog of a car driving 50 miles back to the office, I’d much prefer the new defender in that job
Top!!!
Its so much more expensive than the old one.....oh no wait the old one cost 50k...
I even managed to find a heritage edition for like £65,000 or something like that.
Second hand because they have appreciated in value. New they were £30k, that's a success story if anything.
@@Khalaxe well not exactly as some models were well over 55k new.
The price of the new commercial defender will be around the 30k mark.Again this reflects the large spread of prices of the old one 23k-60k.
@@andyhunt457 Still cheaper dude, that's like me saying the new one is 100k because it can be, you are making the old one seem more spenny than it is. You go from the lowest price, respectively 23k for the old one 45k for the new one.
Ah yes, 90% are still on the road, [The other 10% managed to make it home before the check engine light came on and something died}.
I see tiff immediately subscribe
Haha, welcome! 😁👍
Has to be the best Defender review. Period!
Thanks for the great feedback!
Good one
Glad you enjoyed it. 😏👌
Hey Tiff it would be interesting to see another shootout with this and the Fiat panda cross 4x4 again and see if the new defender gets bogged down again.
Now that sounds like a video!
