I had a customer posted here from USAF. He had a really nice 60 series troopy with 350 chev swap that he was planning to take home with him, but sold it at the last minute to take a stock defender back as it would sell for more money.
This was pre-covid price rises and shipping the car back was covered by defence Dept.
There is a clear class divide here between new landcruiser owners and new Landrover owners, but not so much between the owners of older defenders and landcruisers
