Nobody would be harder to change than myself but after purchasing quite a few Mitsubishi shoguns and always insisting on Manuel gearbox I was stumped on my last purchase when the sales rep told me that they no longer do manuel.
After some sole searching I decided to go with the automatic and would now never go back.

Its the opposite down here, Norman. if you are buying a true Commercial, not a Business model, they no longer sell Automatics new, I'll have to go to the uk and buy a shogun 4work if I want a newer Automatic

Busy couple of months, only primed but it’s now all one colour. Son picked up the roof rack in Dervock and I ponied up for new tyres. Those and lots more. 🤫 Next on the list are new drive shafts and then replacement doors.

Any more defenders been purchased lately?

Not a new purchase But my fender has another 2 years before i can import it as vintage. I cried when I found out how much it was over here to tax it. So it was parked up :'( . i did look into it but the paperwork need to prove i owned it and a resident of the UK at the time was ridiculous. also was told i would need to pay part of the vrt as it was over a year in the state.

Not sure I like it, its not original, all the Galvanized parts have been covered over with paint including the windscreen frame with silver paint, the rear chassis cross member isn't original, it don't have the hole for the pto, There is a air intake point on the wing from a later series III. and id prefer to see it with the original bronze green paint colour. That's just me, I can see it would appeal to many though. Good to see it surviving anyway.

Just tarted up & and overpriced


That's my thinking too, they didn't even take the time to mask off the Galvanized parts, just sprayed over everything and stuck on a few modern shiny accessories
