Project XJ

I used to work for Land Rover North America when they were HQ'ed in Lanham. We handled the fleet, accessory and engineering dept and off road training vehicles. Defender 110 with the exoskeleton is one of my favorite vehicles EVER. They used diesel versions for Camel Trophy. That was a fun job, every other week a set of technicians would come in for four days of classroom and one day of off road training. So much fun beating the crap out of Range Rovers and Discovery's..they are incredibly capable.

Be prepared for sticker shock shopping for what is a barren vehicle that even in the mid 90's at $35K (for the Defender 90, Defender 110 was VERY limited) the "vent" was a handle inside that opened a hole in the cowl. The Discovery has all Defender underpinnings but obviously a bit more civilized package. Older Range Rover County is also a Defender underneath but with adjustable ride height.

Love me some Land Rovers...
