Pretoria – The last generation Land Rover Defender still remains an endearing sight on our roads and probably will be for years to come as enthusiastic owners continue to maintain them and keep them running. The restoration market for Series Defenders around the world is booming and fully restored to its original specification they are […]

Pretoria – Only a handful of cars put a real smile on my face when I get behind the wheel or see one on the road. Because of what we do, our own transport tends to be mothballed most of the time while we drive and test a variety of cars ranging from entry level […]
Need a proper diesel engine to get you somewhere properly inaccessible? The D250 works a treat Growing up, I spent a lot of time on the family farm in the Brecon Beacons, and, until the first Discovery arrived on the farm, the agri-wheels was always a Land Rover Defender. Actually, that’s a lie; the Defender […]
Presented by Private Seller – The Land Rover Defender is an ultimate classic. Known the world over for its ability to brave just about any terrain that the Earth has to offer, the Defender has been a favorite in the off-road world for decades. Now that the original Defender is no longer in production, being […]
The Land Rover Defender is an icon. An intense, luxurious off-roader that turns heads and can crawl up nearly anything. The problem? For the past 20+ years it hasn’t been available in the United States. But this Defender is different. It’s vintage, restored by Himalaya, and it’s powered by a Corvette engine. Plus Omaze is […]
Far from a pretend off-roader, the new 2022 Land Rover Defender 90 promises to be one of the most capable SUVs on the market today. But is the entry diesel D200 enough, or are you better off further up the ranks? We ask this because Land Rover does offer a huge variety of power options […]
It’s just a fact of life: Some vehicles are in higher demand than others. That holds true in the broader market and also in our long-term fleet. I couldn’t give away my previous long-termer, the Mazda CX-30, to a fellow staffer in need of wheels. That won’t be the case with my newest one. Within […]

I learnt about the term greenlaning after coming to the UK. It is a popular activity and I wanted to be a part of it. Unfortunately some of the tracks that I saw on the net were quite technical and I did not want to break the Range Rover Sport. Things became dormant till we […]
This is a new, one-of-five restomod from Land Rover Defender fanatics Arkonik, and although it focuses on simplicity and takes perhaps the most severe less-is-more approach possible, it’ll set you back $240,000 (P12.1 million). Yikes. It’s properly cool, though, this thing. Arkonik describes it as a beach cruiser and turned to ex-Bugatti scribbler Etienne Salomé for the design—he’s the man […]
Sure, the new Land Rover Defender may be loaded with features and advanced technologies but it doesn’t have quite the small ‘cool factor’ as an older model. This particular Defender recently restored and modified by Osprey Custom Cars is especially desirable. Osprey left no stone unturned when creating this Defender and started off by stripping down the […]
Rumors that Land Rover would be bringing back the three-row variant of the Defender emerged a couple of years ago, and rose in volume when a suspicious elongated Def was spotted testing in summer. Well, the latest patent shots leave no room for doubt: the Defender 130 is coming back. The most intriguing thing is […]
Every petrolhead should own a Defender at least once in their lives, but which one to get and what to look out for? My dad bought my mum a Land Rover Defender to teach her a lesson after she kept scraping her car down the side of the house. (It was an awkward driveway.) She was horrified […]
The first one is still under construction. The Duckworth Aerover is a new overlander from England that combines the frame and front of an old-school Land Rover Defender with a body taking inspiration from a 1930s aero-style trailers, like the classic Airstreams. It’s a handsome machine, and Duckworth is now looking for a customer who wants to commission […]
