Isn’t Land Rover one of those makes sold off to India’s TaTa Motors?

No it’s not...it’s a box and a shitty one

The T98 armored car holds an AK-47 bullet and costs less

And it is made in Slovakia. The original defender was always made in Solihull. Not any more. So much for protecting British jobs

And they make in Slovakia. So much f

Great, now put a Toyota engine, transmission, brakes and electronics in it and you've got a winner.

Love these .... British off road look !

UGLY Over Priced, Overrated......

G Wagon

But i Love hummer

Never buy British cars. Total waste of money, very unreliable!

Sinking tens of thousands of dollars into a depreciating asset because “it’s cool” is literally one of the dumbest things one can do.

WHAT PRICE
