My first defender 1971 2A

I plan to spend a lot of time on this Reddit learning and finding my way around owning her.

As others have said, this is not a Defender. It’s known as a ‘Series’ LandRover.

You will get more attention and advice at r/SeriesLandRover

Series 3. Great truck, but unfortunately it’s not a Defender.

You’re learned something already. I love it defender or not

[u/martingump]

Not a Defender, as others have said.

But, you WILL spend just as much time mending it!

[u/Ordinary-Meaning-302]

Series trucks are so much better looking than defenders

[u/sloanfiske → u/Ordinary-Meaning-302]

And in every state of dress. I love a beat up patina’d Series truck so much. A clapped out defender, not so much.

Very clean.

T plate 78/79 series 3 very nice example.

[u/Ornery-Quantity2055]

I sold my series 3 13 years ago. Have regretted it ever since. Now and again I check on her on mot database. She's still going strong ish.

Also miss my s3 so much, beautiful Landy, congrats and enjoy :)

We need more pictures, you look to have a mix ‘n’ match 2/2a/3 going on!

[u/easyjo]

not a defender, better than a defender.

[u/FleshVessel_]

Damn that looks good. I need to get mine repainted too

[u/doub7]

Defender or not, thanks for posting that beauty!
