Not sure to be honest , would be very surprised if the owner doesn’t get issues down the line

Will be an interesting conversation at the dealers Whistle

So far as the Defender in the OP is concerned, cant blame the driver when various bits of LR put out videos such as this one:

Had a "flat earther" in a pub in Staithes once trying to tell me about the tides being proof of the flat earth as they showed when the water reaches the end it then comes rushing back Rolling with laughter Rolling with laughter

They do like to push their vehicles over there in the Slavic lands, don't they. Saw a video of a new Defender going round a Russian 4x4 play site. Weren't worried about chucking it through some very interesting, and deep, mud etc.

YouTube popped this one up after the one above ...




I wonder if the lack of number plates (or at one point a number plate saying "JaguarLandRover" ) is because they don't want to be identified when causing loads of damage to the countryside (obviously NOT as they have company logos all over them )

or so the customer will never know what the "pre-handover test drive" entailed ?
