Hello everyone, I have just joined this forum and look forward to getting to know some of you. I have the double nationality British/French but live in France. I am a car designer professionally and work for Land rover in their Design department in Gaydon. I have too many cars including three LR products, a 2002 L322 4.4 with LPG, a 1986 RR V8 Vogue and an ex-military 1962 S2a 88.
In my spare time I restore classic cars and depending on Brexit may well turn this into a full time profession here in France.
I have just posted a thread in the Range Rover as I have caused some electronic issues to the L322.
All input gratefully appreciated!

Welcome

Please don't own up to being on the new defender team it may not go down well.

Sounds like you have a lovely selection any pics of the family (of cars)

Welcome Philippe,
Try to get your colleagues to produce a simpler and cheaper version of the Defender and I might buy one!
Anyway, you'll get some good advice here; I certainly have.
Vive la France!

Hello, I looked after the "Commercial" version of the New Defender, with only two seats and a divider between the cabin and the load area. It will be the perfect base for a host of uses and lifestyles and is my favourite (and cheapest) of the new Defenders.
