I like the Classic in all forms, but not enough to want one!
Not a fan, I'm affraid! And I'm just going to have to say this - a P38 is a WWII aircraft, a 38a is a Land Rover product, the 38a being the project name based on the buiding at Gaydon (38a funnily enough) where the project office was (it's been flattened now, I'm told)
If thats the same as "ridiculous" - then I agree. Its got into Land Cruiser "tonka toy" territory IMHO.
Well, I'm a Series/Defender type through and through, its a classic, ageless look in my view - a true icon of "design" (well, engineering really)
It screamed "Shogun" to me - which is no surprise, as that was the design "target". Far too many plastic bits to break and comfy bits to damage or get muddy. Nice vehicle, but not for me.
100% agree - I always thought it should have been a Rover, with "Drive train by Land Rover" badges. Yes, I know its necessary for the health of the company and all that, but it devalues the off-roadiness of the marque in my book. I know I'll get into trouble for this, but to me there are Land Rovers (Series, FC's, Lighweights, Defenders etc) and there are the others, which are rapidly ceasing to become off-roaders and become 4x4 cars.Because its not and off-roader, its a 4x4 car with big wheels!
dons flame proof suit!
