Ah, for once an article by the BBC that isn't about Land Rovers running people over and killing them.

I predict this will lead to several pages of scathing comments about the captions and choice of pictures :)

very brief write up wasnt it  :lol:

all publicity is good publicity?

It is estimated that 80% of all Land Rover Defenders ever produced are still in use, mainly on farms.

Picture 5 of the above link
A line-up of Land Rover Defenders, pre 2007. It is estimated that about 70% of all Land Rover Defenders produced are still in use, mainly on farms.

I guess that shows how good their facts are.

Disco Matt:
Yes, especially as it wasn't called a Defender until 1990!

But both those facts could still be correct it is possible that 80% of all the landrovers ever made are still in use (doubtful though ) and it is also possible that 70 percent of all the defenders are still in use. (this could include 90/110's as well but it wouldn't need to in order for it to still be factual) I'd like to see the research and figures that were used in arriving at these percentages though.
