Land Rover Defender Around the Track
File: 2018002-0441
Land Rover Owner International Show at the East of England Arena, Peterborough, Cambridgeshire, England, United Kingdom, on Saturday 15th September 2018.
About the photograph.
This is a heavy modified and customised Land Rover Defender for extreme off-roading, here it is driving around the track, in the show arena, and showing off its capabilities.
In the photo, you can see the customised suspension system, the winch motor in the front, the roll bars, and the tyres looking like it’s suited for muddy ground. Those are mainly aftermarket parts, and have changed the original Defender into this tough looking Defender.
Notice the name DEFENDER on the front edge of the engine hood.
I did not pick up a programme or event guide, and don’t have any more information about this car nor about the driver. This Land Rover was one of the many, heavily modified for off-roading, doing a showcase to the public.
About the overall subject.
Land Rover Defender.
Originally, they were simply called as Land Rover One Ten and Land Rover Ninety. With the introduction of the Discovery models, the name Land Rover no longer worked as the name of a specific model. So it became a marque for a wide range of various Land Rover models, including the Range Rover.
The Defender started production in 1983 as a replacement for the original Land Rover which was later named as The Series model. The Defender was designed for off roading adventure as well as road use.
The engine comes in various sizes and fuel types, there are too many to mention, you could look up on Wikipedia for in depth details on the engines and gearboxes.
Production of the original Defender ended in 2016, and there was a break for a while, then in 2020, Land Rover revealed the new Defender.
Land Rover Owner International Show.
Land Rover Owner, often abbreviated as LRO, is a British monthly magazine for Land Rover enthusiasts, published by a company based in Peterborough. The full title is often Land Rover Owner International.
It first started in July 1987 by a group of East Anglian businessmen, and was a mainly black and white 40 pages magazine. By the mid-1990s, it was bought by a publishing group, and became one of the popular Land Rover magazines.
The Land Rover Owner International Show is a yearly event ran by the magazine, and usually during the weekend in September. It features many various Land Rover vehicles on display, and includes an action arena for Land Rover drivers to display their driving skills.
