Description

In Part 4 of our 5-part series, "Defending the Defender", Tom tells us about his 2000km (ok, 3000km, but shhh) test-journey with the new Land Rover Defender. Tom is not an influencer, and was not paid to take the Landy for a spin, they just gave him car and said "Have fun, don't break it."
