Land Rover Greece

[Sgt Grunt]

I am visiting Greece this week and have spotted a Rover dealer with some good stuff in the show room...

I will take some pictures and get them posted soon.

I tried to check out a few dealers in Switzerland last week, but my wife was going to kill me if we stopped...:littlefriend:

Pictures soon!!!

I was surprised to see the 110 had a 6 speed tranny????

Is that new for 09???

It was new for 07 (probably called model year 08) onwards in the UK! 'Box is from a Ford Transit, along with the 2.5 litre turbo-diesel Ford Transit engine, and a dash similar to a Disco 3 / LR 3.

We dub it the Transfender (Or maybe the Defensit?)

how to rover purists feel about this change in the defender?

 

[Blueboy]

not sure if I qualify as a Rover purist, yet, my big disappointment with the change was ceasing of Defender manufacturing in Brasil.

hopefully TaTa will see the benefit of producing in S.A. and start up the plant again.

personally I like the prior style better, however, I also like the 300Tdi engine better as well.

What part of Greece are you in? Are they letting you test one out? That would be cool to see some overland Greece pics. I know in the northern area where I am from there are some great places/trails to check out. My cousin works as a police man and border patrol and he travels the mountains in a 4x4 90% of the time that he is on duty.

What part of Greece are you in?

We came by ferry from Italy to Patras and then spent the rest of our time in Athens.

They would not let us take a test drive because the 110 was the only Defender they had, not that that really mattered.
