have to wonder why they are changing it, if they are selling 25k a year, thats a nice little earner, with minor upgrades needed every so often.

yes, about time they started doing minor upgrades on the bloody things  ;D

The whole problem with the world is that fools and fanatics are always so certain of themselves, but wiser people so full of doubts.

I really quite like the original/current Defender, alongwith all its quirks.  There is no other vehicle platform, short of a lorry chassis, that can have so many assorted variations of body type and fitment based on the same chassis and cab/bulkhead.

Thinking vans, pickups, county style estates, flatbeds, cherry pickers, specialist offroad utility company vehicles, grit spreaders, fire engines, military variations etc etc.

And if you go back into the original concept of the series style then using the power take off facility, grass cutters, balers, tattie howkers and goodness knows what else!

Wonder if the new one will encompass all that? Eeeehhh......   :-X
