Title: Land Rover resurrects the 80” as a new Defender sub model?
Post by: Matt H on December 17, 2019, 06:17 AM
Not talking about the restoration of old 80" Units. But an entirely new model to sit below the upcoming New Defender in size, cost and probably capability too with 2wd and AWD options.

Also on it's way is an even more expensive "sport" model Defender with road bias performance and luxury as a focus.....cause that's what everyone asked for. ::)

Because it was so popular at the time, they worked the DC100 back into the line.

No, No , Nooo....you have it all wrong!    It's going to be called the "Land Rover 80" which refers to the number of ECM's they have fitted  ;)
Insult to injury.....  >:(

But really...the only question you should be asking is "will this Land Rover on a trail make my arse look fat?!?"

Read that it would be available in 2wd not 4x4.
