I always thought the defender should have had a factory auto option, wouldn't have cost huge amounts extra as the Discovery boxes etc were a straightforward transplant.

£150k is waaaaay too much money for a LR Brick though, you can probably DIY it yourself for a lot less.

106 mph in a V8 Defender? Think of the fuel consumption! The aerodynamics would make it interesting trying to keep it in a straight line too. As for the price, these rebuilds are just LR taking advantage - they will sell them for as much as they can get. After all, you could get a couple of unmodified series 2s for that price. Ex AA Series III LWB Safari - Gone
300TDi Disco (bought new - terrible car) sent back after 18 months
Freelander 1 Estate - leased, given back at end of lease
200TDi Disco (bought from a mate with 100,000 on the clock) - Gone
Disco 2 TD5 - sold and exported to France
FR2 TD4 GS - Gone
FR2 SD4 HSE - Now changed for a DS
New model ex-demo Evoque S 180 in white
Unable to order a new DS, so gave up. Now have a Volvo S90 Recharge.
