Have you seen any cheap S1 or S2's ?Must be something going on, you can't get a project defender cheap any more yet series seem to go cheap for some reason, nowt wrong with a good series three
It will be a built after date it will state . Otherwise there will be thousands and thousands of defenders disco's parked somewhere , there's to many to just say you cant use them anymore mate . Not that i am thinking of it , but if i did sell mine i am not selling it for less than i paid if maintained and don't trash it , and no amount of scare mongering will effect prices that much , they will naturally level out and stay there .I agree, we are all in denial regarding this!!

Not to mention all the road haulage, buses and commercial diesel vehicles.
I doubt very much diesel will be utterly banned from the roads anytime soon - more likely to see no new ones being made, and city centres no-go low emission zones and things like that first

Yer mate is spot on. Very overpriced.So today at work I got into a heated debate with a colleague about current Defender prices .They stated that Defenders had have their day and current prices are over inflated, needless to say this rubbed me up the wrong way .My personal opinion is they will carry on to hold their value,it is true that maybe the agricultural market has been lost to the Japanese alternative but I think the market still remains strong for Defender ownership ,just wondering what peoples opinions are on this.
No-go city zones are already in and happening and no protection from 'Built after dates'. These will be getting rolled out to full compliance very soon whether you bury your head in the sand or not. The proposal comes after the government ordered Greater Manchester and more than 60 other local authorities to reduce road transport emissions.Road haulage, buses and commercial diesel vehicles are also already in the thick of it having to now meet euro 6 compliance, there is very strong rumours of euro 7 next and a total ban on all compliant diesel vehicles by 2025 ... 6 years away.
Cleaner emissions is happening at a very fast rate and it isn't going to go away. It is a fact we are all going to have to come to terms with.
Tumble weed city centres on the way.
Just drugs, knives and guns tumbling about.Well City centres are certainly changing and although I can't comment about all cities Manchester is certainly boom town, I've never seen so much development going on in one place, for the last couple of years the entire skyline of the city has been filled with tower cranes (I counted 64 on one occasion) with skyscrapers galore being built. It is very quickly being turned into a huge skyscraper city with masses of luxury apartments and offices being built. Where people used to chose to work in the city and live in the suburbs it would appear city living is all the rage with more and more people choosing to live and work in the city without the need for travel which is also bringing in more and more social development , gyms , bars and restaurants etc.
There will certainly be no tumbleweed running through the streets of Manchester in my lifetime.
They are worth what some one is willing to pay for one.
If JLR really do recapture the original market they lost to the Japanese i can see the new version being available at an "affordable" price (base model)
90's/110's and Defenders have been around a while now but look at the french hot hatch cars from the late 80's and early 90's.. would you pay 4 figures for a 106 or 205 now? in fact 205 rallye's are stupid money.
