I saw a reasonably new defender 90 in Trafalgar Sq yesterday with a pretty rorty V8 and ventilated disks. If it hadn't been for the wider wheels and alloys you wouldn't have know it wasn't standard. Awesomely quick pickup, great in traffic. I wanted one! (I was trying to work out if the mud was hand painted on though)

As the V8 engines are reasonably cheap to replace there isn't such a good case for switching engines. Unlike the 401/403 cars...... there are quite a few which have lost their engines and would make great sleepers
