On my way to work this morning I passed a Land Rover model
I didn't think I'd ever see in the US. It was a Defender 110
County, or at least a Station Wagon, with, if the lettering on the
side was to be believed, a TD5 engine. It had Washington
plates and was left-hand drive. So far as I'm aware,
the only Defenders that have been imported to the US
have been the 500, white, V-8 powered D110s in
1993 and a smattering of V-8 powered D90s in the
late '90s. I know individuals have brought in Defenders
and had them altered to meet the US-safety and emissions
specifications- I understand there's even at least one D130
in the US. But I was surprised to see a TD5-powered
Defender over here. I assume that's the so-called "Storm"
five-cylinder diesel, which is a relatively new powerplant.
