Jaguar Land Rover will produce a new model bearing the Defender name in the next couple of years but it will sit among the modern 4x4s without the distinctive features that link it to Wilksâ€™s great utilitarian creation.

I'm sure that will be like the modern VW "beetle"--an ugly monstrosity that bears little to no resemblance to the original.

I remember seeing a lot of those little utilitarian Land Rovers on the road when I lived in southern Spain. They usually had a "90" (or "80", "70", or "60") sticker on the back, indicating their top speed (in km/h). We passed them a lot.

There is a 90 or a 110. It’s a reference to the length. The 90 is the two door and 110 the four.

I have a diesel 90 I leave at my parents house in Israel.

I had a Series III 88 back in the early ‘70s. Loved it - took it all over Maine and NH. I added a winch which proved invaluable.
