Land Rover Defender Works V8 - review: aex.ae/2IufOGL
The Land Rover Defender is back. But before you get excited and start waving your Union flag with patriotic fervour, it isn’t as simple as that. To celebrate the firm’s 70th birthday, Land Rover has launched a run of limited edition Defender models. However, unlike a Jaguar D-Type or E-Type Lightweight, the 2018 Works V8 70th Edition isn’t a brand-new continuation model, instead it’s a heavily re-engineered ‘old’ Defender…

    Keine Namen the 575bhp Supercharged V8 RR Sport SVR is a “soccer mom SUV”? I don’t think so buddy. Sure they make some cars that appeal to buyers doing the school run but that is what allows them to achieve the money to create monsters like the SVR and this defender. Car manufacturers cater for the mass market not the very small segment of car enthusiasts that don’t even have the money to put down a deposit.

    Awesome machine even though limited run. Drove a original civilian LR V8 110 In Early 1980S. British Army had it on trail at Hereford, but the regiment preferred the Gucci Range Rovers. So we had it for a couple of weeks, a battleship grey V8 with black vinyl seats.. It was really unstable and a beast! No idea what happened to it. But could be hidden in some storage depot somewhere, rusting away.
