BUDGET DEFENDER REBUILD, AIR-DREAM CAMPER and SOUTH-WEST GREENLANES…
Our jaws hit the floor when we saw this Airstream-inspired Defender Td5 130 camper take shape, so editor Neil just had to see it and the chaps who built it. Read how the unique construction took shape, in our August 2022 issue.
Our main cover star is a bit more down to earth, but no less admirable. It’s the modest yet brilliant restoration of a 200Tdi Defender 90, revived on a budget, with faithful originality in mind. Mark Saville reveals how it was done.
