Yet another article on the potential return of the Defender:Astrologist:

Yeah, I read that one last week. I'm not holding my breath though. But I do get wet dreams about it.






OK, OK, yeah so I'm a rover fanatic...

In the meantime, the 2007 Defender is, despite the familiar look, the first major technical overhaul in 15 years, with a new engine and gearbox, revised suspension, new forward-facing seats in place of side-facing benches, a new dashboard and, in a major technological advance (drumroll, please), air conditioning for the first time in a Defender

Is this true? Current Defender have no a/c???

 

[Andrew Walcker]

Yeah, I got a laugh out of that one as I drove home yesterday soaking in the stock AC on my 97

Probably not stock in the UK, AC is only just becoming common, lots of brand new cars for 2008 still don't have it. A new land rover is around the price point where you expect it to be standard. Most cars have tiny engines, if you only have a 950cc engine, AC is going to trash your performance and gas mileage.

A/c has been an option in Land rovers in the Uk for years.

If the NA market ever sees another Defender, I'm almost 100% positive it won't be the Defender we all love, just something badged as a Defender, a Shame really. Looks like I will have to start collecting parts and build my own haha
