this could be awesome! My dad has been looking at the higher class vehicles as a road car. We were between the VW toureg and the LR3, and opted for the LR3 because its more for the money and a 7 seater. The thing is, is that he has decided to wait till his present lease is up on the vehicle he has, and his lease will end next August. If the timing is right, and the vehicle is good, I might be able to shift some of my weight and get him to buy (vs. lease) a new Defender if it is close to what he is looking for.
Might be the first one in the forum to own a new defender
