I bet that will also be as thirsty as well so there won't be too many folks looking for 12-15mpg Freelanders in the UK! 2020 Pangea Green 1st Edition D240 New Defender 110 is here and loving it

Even if it makes it onto the US market, there's a smaller chance of it being a feasible addition to the UK range. Would shift though, I bet Very Happy

But Martin the Volvo is a relatively sleek and light beast compared to even a small(ish) bluff and heavy Freelander. Could this be going to be the F2 HST? 2020 Pangea Green 1st Edition D240 New Defender 110 is here and loving it

2 weeks ago in Egypt it was 7p a litre............................... 31p a gallon! But I certainly wouldn't move to Egypt just to have the cheapo fuel Laughing 110% import duty on your RRS S/C is a bit of a dampener on the cheap fuel 2020 Pangea Green 1st Edition D240 New Defender 110 is here and loving it
