This weekend I was at the annual SLROC offroad summer bash and this appeared. You cannot really judge how high it is from the photo so to give you an idea the sills are at waist height............................. It cannot go offroad as the transmission is too fragile, it cannot tow and it cannot get into most carparks. The steering guard seems a bit unnecessary, but maybe it is there to protect pedestrians! Otherwise nit is a cracking V8 powered landie!

Looks loud, was it?

S, all the V8's there at the weekend were VERY loud, most had straight through exhausts but this one wasn't so loud!
The story behind that elevated 110 was that last year at an event, when it was an ex military vehicle, he rolled it and did a lot of damage to it. He bought the car back from the insurance company and this is the result of the rebuild. What I do know is that it is the guy's daily runner.

At least he gets a really good view into 1st floor bedroom windows and over hedgerows from it! 2020 Pangea Green 1st Edition D240 New Defender 110 is here and loving it

This one is just as mad, 49" tyres, 5" body lift and a 4" suspension lift. He needs a ladder to get in it. The rock sliders are shoulder height.
