What's the new Land Rover Defender like? How does it compare against its predecessors? Should you buy the old Defender, or get the new 2021 Defender? What's it like on road and off road? Tiff Needell, previously of BBC Top Gear and Fifth Gear, tries it out for size!

Sorry to be that guy, but the Defender didn't get that name until 1990, not 1983. It went from the Land Rover Series III to just the Land Rover 90/110 in 1983 then in 1990 for the launch/update when the 200tdi came out it got changed to Defender 90/110

Having owned an old Defender, I scoffed earlier this year at the new incarnation. Then I purchased the new P300 version six weeks ago and I've had to eat my hat. It's just superb. I went for white steelies so I wouldn't get to precious about ruining the Range Rover style alloys and they suit my rural area much better.

I worked at LR for 10 years, and can't help feeling they should have made a small Defender for people living in the city - isn't that why the 90 is popular in London? A sort of City Rover/90/Evoque mash up that's luxurious to be in, but can deal with parking knocks. BTW, an Evoque is on the limit length-wise here in NYC for street parking.
