I much prefer the RRC over a defender way more comfortable and can be had at a better price point than a defender

Looks like a fun way to spend a day! The old Ranger Rovers are cool.. Built to off road.

Good way to explore the Aussie bush!

It's design really is timeless (like the original Mini), and there is a market for the 3-door RR if someone was to start building them. The trouble is that they would be silly money. I was lucky enough to have a 3-door Vogue RR converted to automatic.

RR Classic is a One Off PHENOMENA -and Incredibly Capable Vehicle !! But New Defender is Up there and better in many ways - though its Took LR 23 years to produce a True Competitor

This was a good day out in the bush. I think we need a few river crossings next time 😄

Yeah man. Need to wade through some deep sh*t

More capable off road than a defender, I've owned 3 RRC, well looked after they are decent. Remember, this was the flagship of the LR fleet hence more money was spent on development and more money was spent on quality of components than lower members of the LR family 👍

Defenders has shorter overhang so they are way better offroad. I have driven both in competion trial and there is no doubt that the Defender is better ;)

Defenders are just Range Rover chassis’s with a badly fitted body kit. RRC all day long. Space for you right (or left) arm.
