Land Rover Owner international magazine, September 2021 issue

Our star vehicle this month is a beautiful ground-up restoration of a black 2006 Td5 Defender 110. It’s creator Dan Clarke has proved that a Defender doesn’t have to be wild or intensively modified, but a few choice modifications – combined with great attention to detail – will go a long way.

And in some filthier pages, we came up with the Straightline Challenge – a ridiculously muddy endeavour to cross our local quarry the hard way, with a Series III 109 in a dead straight line. Why? To put our off-road driving and recovery skills to the test, to pick up new techniques, and… yeah, it was fun too.
