Sorry, it's a bit behind the times, but I've only just found this :oops:

Some great archive snippets in there, including the prototype Range Rover (I've not seen that before!)
Richard A Thackeray 
Defender 110Td5 'Heritage Gone, but not forgotten
Jaguar XKR; X88 JLT, also 'gone, but not forgotten'

I've got Hammonds book "What not to drive" and it calls the greatest car the trusty old Defender. Gotta make you proud :D
