Santana is a Spanish firm that manufactured Land Rovers under license.

It is a Santana PS 10, a development of the Series Land Rover. Not sure how good they are but some say they are superior to Land Rover products.

IIRC rather than go for coil springs as the Defender did they use parabolics and have a 2.8 Isuzu engine.

They are and look like the sort of thing you would use a hanky for. Don't go and a pain for parts, we used to look after four for one of my customers.

There used to be one parked down the road from me. The owner drives his ex-military 110 while the newer Santana spends most of its life with its bonnet up.

Seems pretty damning to me hehe
