Yes, its from famous four, I had it shipped over. I bought my winch from a company over here (link below) as the legislation over here means it must be fitted by an authorised company and must be added to the car's paperwork (equivalent of UK V5).

The defender looks great apart from that robocop snorkel, did it come off a Russian troop carrier.

They are traditional wooden houses, a group (mainly my family) of us bought up around 10 dilapidated houses in this location and restored them.

I think thats a genuine LR bit of kit, I also think they call it a RAI = raised air intake and not snorkel due Im sure to some numpty thinking they could drive across the channel with one fitted
