Lots of chatter on the caravan forum about this but surprised nobody on here hasn't started a book of condolences or something

I for one will be sad to see the end of such an Icon - might be tempted to buy one and keep it  Wanted a Series 2 LR since childhood but previously owned MY16 Disco Sport HSE TD4 Auto, MY13 RR Sport Black Edition TDV6 Auto, MY10 RR Sport HSE TDV6 Auto, 2007 Freelander 1 Freestyle TD4 Soft Top, 2009 Freelander 2 GS TD4 Auto, 2007 Freelander 2 GS TD4, 2004 Disco 2 Metropolis Auto, 2002 Disco 2 GS, 2000 Freelander 1 SE TD4 SW

Still hoping for a S2 one day!

I must confess to finding myself doubting the reasons of "emissions" being given for its cancellation. I very much doubt that LR couldn't have put in a modern, efficient engine if they wanted to. More likely is that they want the entire range to be bling-styled and, more importantly, expensive to buy.

If I could comfortably sit in one and be able to drive it for several hours then I'd have one in an instant. Sadly I've never found that to be the case. Great vehicles for local use though - tempted to pick up a S2 as a plaything one day. 2012 SDV6 - it's missing a couple of cylinders
2008 TDV8 - it was a labour of love and is much missed

Would probably be a good investment too.

I have always wanted one but don't think I have the time to use it enough to justify the purchase

You're not alone MW. I've thought about asking him if he has any plans to sell it

How about one of these

Is it me or does the DC100 appear to lack the ground clearance of a defender

Sad news. I have always liked the Defender, might consider one in the future. 2014 L405 SDV8 RR Autobiography

2012 RRS SDV6 HSE -Orkney Grey with A/B bodykit - Now Gone
2007 RRS TDV6 HSE - Zermatt Silver - Gone

I live near the biggest army driver training base in uk and they no longer have many defenders - they even use toyota for escort duties now.

Who cares, it looks flippin great!!
I dare say that if it ever makes production, then Ill bet it sits a bit higher. I hope it does as I would buy one if it looks that good and drives like say the freelander instead of the old tractor that is the defender!
