Land Rover Defender Td5 HardTop

[LMF1980]

Hi all,

Was looking and thinking of changing to the Defender Td5. Jus wondering if anyone owns this cool car. I understand that car has to be registered under Commercial Vehicle. Anyone got athg to share?

It's a diesel engine. A well built one too but built quality of the cab is urgh...

Why don't you just join the army. Lots of LWB Defenders there.

a review from "CAR" magazine by steve clarkson

"the defender is still unrivalled in the bog,thrashing its way through where no other off roaders have been"."however,panel gaps are visible from space and it still reeks of WWII technology"."a true brittish icon still built for nostalgia's sake,but other than that,utterly pointless"."does 0-100 in 15 long secs,topspeed of 124km/h and it will guzzle fuel at a rate of a galon per 28 miles."

Yup. Doesn't make much sense for such good roads in Singapore. Unless live in the jungle or to get some stares on the road, not that practical. Remember those slow army landrovers?

The Jeep Wrangler has the same cool look too. A little high on power and fuel consumption.
