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

Tiff really is a national treasure

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.

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.

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?
