New to me is this Pangea Green Defender 110.

My line of work requires me to spend time messing around in woodland and wildlife reserves so I applied some creative man maths and came up with this solution.

The car is a former Landrover experience centre car. I picked it up with 4k on the clock, the off road packs, the additional diff, tow bar, 7 seats, off road tyres, fridge (didn't know I needed this but nice to have), a load of options I would never tick in a million years (Cabin Air Purification Plus!?!) and a good £20k less than when new a year or so earlier.

While I like the black and dark grey colours I just couldn't bring myself to follow the crowd so it had to be blue or green + no black wheels.

The BIK options are not great on the hybrid so figured I'd go full diesel, so D300 it was and I am pleased. Engine is smooth and has more power than I'll ever need. On the whole the car handles far better than I expected. It's on road presence is fantastic and the tech is a joy to use, responsive, good interface etc.

Upon delivery I took it round our fields, tracks and woodland. Got it nice and muddy then drove to visit family in Switzerland. It is not economical (32mpg long term average after 5k) but a joy to cover long distances in.

4 months in. Very happy indeed. Can see this staying for a good long while.

Looks nice. 32mpg sounds good, we get 26mpg on our 3.0 SDV6 Disco5. I’m currently deciding between being sensible and replacing my m140 with a pick up, or buying one of these and regularly towing a tipper trailer.
