Buy Land Rover Defender
A mainstay of the British Army and indeed, the off-roading circuit since it was first produced back in 1983, the Land Rover Defender has undergone something of a facelift in 2011.

Land Rover Defender - Purchase Price
Prices for second hand models start below £1,000, whilst new versions cost anything from £45k.
Land Rover Defender - Co2 Emissions
Indeed, the only thing that is likely to kill off this vehicle is the rising tide of EU emissions and safety regulations (in relation to pedestrians and not the driver and passengers). That and Land Rovers increasing tendency towards sleeker, road-friendly vehicles. As such, the classic Land Rover Defender will almost certainly not be around for much longer, so make the most of it.
Land Rover Defender - Safety
Gone are the days when the Land Rover Defender was considered a vehicle unsafe to pedestrians, and indeed the environment. While this new model, unveiled in November 2011, is indeed brand spanking new, in many ways it represents a revision of the Land Rover Defender that was in production back in the 1940s. Except, of course, it now offers drastically improved features.
Land Rover Defenders - Performance
The 2.4-litre engine that graced the older version of the Defender has become a slightly smaller 2.2-litre diesel engine with superior fuel economy and power that remains unchanged. It's also less noisy than the Defender of old, courtesy of a new acoustic engine cover. Land Rover buyers that have previously been seduced by the growl may be slightly disappointed, but this is still a proper off-roader.
Land Rover Defender - Off-Roader
This is a vehicle that is used to getting dirty. Unlike, the new generation of SUVs and 7-seaters, the Land Rover Defender is perfectly capable of being submerged above the bonnet in muddy water and coming out unscathed. It is a mighty 4WD off-roader!
