Nah they wouldn’t as all people want land rovers for nowadays is to pose in outside school at pickup time.

Your basically describing the old defender which was canned on safety grounds. People buy jap or ford pickups now for the same type of work a defender did

They 'safety grounds' were the EU regulations as we were in the EU at that time. Now that we are supposed to be out of the EU (Article 50 going through the courts as we speak) those safety grounds should be null and void.

Are you kidding? Eu legislation and standards that we are all ready signed up to is be enshrined in UK law and the standards are being maintained so stuff like this will still be applicable.....

What standards? The standard to be bent over and shafted royally because 'muh safety'? Make no mistake the people want a return to the days of pre-EU rulings not just out of the EU. There's a legal case going through the courts by the English Democrats that pretty much is going to ensure this.

Also do you know how much you'd be paying in road-tax for a defender in Ireland? Over a 1,000 Euros for a frikkin' years lousy tax, I've actually seen top end cars being hit with even more than this. Yeah great standards from the EU there dude. Before Ireland were in the EU you'd be paying fck all for your road tax.

Also, EU legislation can take a running jump, and that includes this twaddle nonsense they've lumped into the department of transport (whatever else it's gulped down).

Great, people getting hurt left , right and centre without any rights what so ever to protect them, sounds fantastic.

No, you get punished for the crime of injuring, not for just having an object that could, in some very unlikely event, inflict the injury.

Put it another way. I can go to Britpart and buy headlight guards for my defender which function EXTACTLY the same as bull-bars and they are fine and dandy anyways.
