"SIII doesn't look enough like a Defender "...... Defenders must be really
different in the States...
When I bought last year my 1992 D110 (used, with character marks, mud, etc)
and proudly showed it to my wife, she just said: I thought you were going
to buy a newer truck.. this is the same as the one your father has ('72 88
SW), only longer.
