I’ll have to have a trip up
Is it on the road in, from the south end of the bypass??

On the A6131, coming from Crosshills on A629, it's on the right after the Bay Horse.

I thought it was a Defender from behind.

If I get this right, the Massif is a redisgn of the Santana, which is itself an unde licence Land Rover. Never seen a massif in the flesh.

A defender hit with the ugly stick

 

[Drago]

It couldn't be worse built than a Defender. Even the Spanish used to guffaw at LR fit and finish when they built the Santana and Hannibal.

It's a licence build, I believe?
I remember the Grenadier style hoo-ha, when it was first featured in the news sections of the (at the time) 4 Land-Rover magazines

Apparently Santana manufactured it for Iveco, so I would guess it is licence built rather than a dodgy fake.

Sunday 25th

I saw my first Grenadier this afternoon
It was a black one
A1, southbound, at HookMoor (where the M1 joins it)

Anyway, how's the planet burning, child killing large SUV thread going on ? Seems to be lots of vitriol against these since the sad incident a few days ago.

Surely, the end result would have been as tragic, if it had been a Tesla, BuMW, or any other vehicle?

Over powered one driven too fast.

This has just been launched in North America and looks like it’ll be coming to Europe.

I really like it 👍

Land Rover #001
JUE 477

Jim Radcliffe (Team Ineos owner) won a sealed bid auction for it, & had it sympathetically restored
