Post by: davidlandy on May 12, 2005, 21:34:58: dunno about that - been after one for a while as the missus likes them, I appear to be giving in to the pressure !

went and had a look at a couple at the weekend - a rather nice 51plate VX in metallic maroon - she didnt like it cos of the colour of the interior - beige... i liked it , drove really well.

then saw an immaculate GX , nice car but not enough toys!

just spotted a nice one on exchange and mart in black n silver - just emailed the guy for some more info.

is this to replace the defender or an addition?
