If you’ve been suspicious about the new Land Rover Defender, probably the one thing you’ve been holding on to about it is that at least they’re doing it as a van. Judging by the amount of them stacking up in Land Rover’s order books, you might not be the only one who sees the Hard-Top as being the one Defender you might actually buy. Certainly, we’ve been looking forward to experiencing the most basic, entry-level 90 ever since the vehicle was unveiled – and in this month’s issue of 4x4, we’ve finally had the chance to do just that. We’ll not say more… apart from to point out that the 90s we fell in love with back in the day had simple coil springs. And so does the cheapest one in the new range. Can it possibly live up to those standards? Talking of old Defenders, one of them gave its life so that Siobhan Cook’s challenge truck could live. It’s a beast of a machine – and it’s profiled in full in this issue, as is Jeep’s recently unveiled Red Bare Gladiator concept.
