United Kingdom 2014 Freelander 2 SD4 XS Auto Loire Blue

I still like the look of the FL1 which looked like a "proper" off roader but the FL2 is much more practical and comfortable. Last weekend i visited my daughter to do a few jobs on her house and deliver a load of logs. An FL1 wouldn't have been big enough.

 3 x FL1 2 manual + 1 auto
5 x FL2 4 manual + 1 auto
Now Discovery Sport P250 MHEV SE

The image is complete fiction. Iā€™ve not read the story inside, I refuse to pay good money for these magazines now, but how do we know that the price and launch date are any more reliable that the fantasy photo?

On youtube, 9 out of ten people are slagging off the new Defender as it's not authentic and an overpriced posh replica.
However, if you look at the price of second hand Defenders in Spain you'd be flabbergasted by the price of old high mileage examples. A car that is keeping it's value. But if you look at them, they are very basic and agricultural, and in the end were a rip off with a LR badge on. A farmer's 4x4 that can be seen chugging around posh districts of many UK cities now. It's the kettle calling the pot black.

I sat in and got a good look at the new Defender at the 2019 LR Party meeting in the huge Les Comes off road park (40 miles from Barcelona). It feels REALLY well made and tough and follows the new LR design strategy. Time to move on.

Going back to the topic, the logical step is to build 3 versions corresponding to the 90, 110 and 130 old Defender. So, that may give us the smaller Freelander but called the Defender Sport as was toted here.

United Kingdom 2007 Freelander 2 i6 HSE Auto Sumatra Black

The cancelled LR "Farmer's Friend" project. No doubt would have been 3 x the cost of similar vehicles on the market.
It was built just as the trend for these type of vehicles started to become popular. It even had centre articulation.
Could've been a real winner - but only the one was ever built way back in 1998. Reckon Land Rover could have cornered the market.
