gazelle Posted March 17, 2008 Share Posted March 17, 2008 In an article entitled "The 100 most beautiful cars" the Defender comes in at no 85, just below the Jag XK (81). Not a term I would normally associate with Defenders..... See The telegraph website article. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scotian Posted March 17, 2008 Share Posted March 17, 2008 There is a mid 30s woman who works in the corner shop here who keeps telling me and my girlfriend how beautiful my landrover is. As far as landrovers go I thought mine was amoung the most distant from beautiful what with the bits stuck on the out side and the Matt black paint.. Oh well. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder I guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eightpot Posted March 17, 2008 Share Posted March 17, 2008 ...followed closely by the Lotus Europa from which angle is a Europa beautiful? Is the judge looking up from an inspection pit? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimAttrill Posted March 17, 2008 Share Posted March 17, 2008 I looked through them all. Where is the Datun 120Y? Ok, just joking, but the Defender definitely has something going for it. Sort of timeless appeal? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greenmobile Posted March 17, 2008 Share Posted March 17, 2008 They could have used a better example photo though, I mean a Tomb Raider, come on! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sheeppimp Posted March 17, 2008 Share Posted March 17, 2008 a series one is beautiful, the defender is just it's slightly chubby younger sister - similar bone structure and once the puppy fat's goes it'll be a stunner. And where's the Datsun 240z Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigSi110 Posted March 17, 2008 Share Posted March 17, 2008 I'd agree that the Defender certainly is beautiful, especially when it's a 110 and even more especially when it's mine. But they've missed the '68-'70 Dodge Charger off the list. I assume, therefore, that this is a mistake and not deliberate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It has to be the most beautiful car of all time in my opinion. Here's one I made earlier Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
