Top Secret 1st Pics of the 07 Defender

[safarirover]

I have a friend inside here are some pics of the 07 Defender. It is supposed to have airbags, which means it might be coming back to the US

[safarirover]

Here is another, camera phones are not allowed in the factory for some reason

Looks like there's something going on under the hood. I still don't think we will get them anytime soon.

Steering wheel is on the wrong side?

Here's hoping.

That bulge on the hood is gonna make it tough to see with a tire on the hood, bonnet, sorry Or maybe thats where the spare is.

Ya, but, the bolts match on both sides so it looks pretty modular.. I'm thinking you could just unbolt it and move it right over to where it needs to be..

I'll believe it's coming back to the USA when I see them on the local dealer showroom floor..

Looks like they did away with the under windshield vents too.

That pic looks like a 110, they didn't have the vents on the 110s.

Really? Did not know that...Ok I'll shut up now.

You sure about that? Every 110 I can ever remember seeing has had them. Mine has them. There's a guy around here with a '95 ex-MOD and I'm 99% sure his has them. Maybe NAS D110s didn't, or maybe they don't any more and I only see older ones...?

Mine does, and every one I see driving around does too.

[justinhaaga]

hmmm this could get interesting.

[Blueboy]

they didn't have the vents on the 110s.

for sure they were on every 110 or 90 for thet matter made in Brasil including the last ones in 2006.

unless PT you are referring to something else.

it would not surprise me though if they did get rid of them as it is a good water leak.

ECRs site shows some 110's with and some without vents. Very weird, I thought they all had them too.

[kellymoe]

I think the NAS 110 have the vents but are non functional due to the roll cage bar that sits infront of them. My buddy has a NAS 110 and there are no handles for the vents on the inside. The outside I believe have black plastic where the vents are or should be.

Which ECR Def do not have the vents?

When I first read the thread title, I automatically thought, "cool, we are going to get this." Then reality slapped me in the face

All 110s have the vent holes under the windshield, even the 93NAS 110s, the 93 NAS 110s were closed up with some black plastic covers and made nonfunctional because of the particular AC system it used. All the 90s and everyother truck with ac has the bolt on kit under the dash, THey had to do this for circulation of the duct work. the 93 110s have a completely jackass system and most people don't fix it and convert to the bolt on system.

It looks like they dont have vents....But could just be the rollcage blocking? Not sure.

OK, NAS 110s To My knowledge do not have vents. Keep in mind that ECR does big business in converting 90s to 110s.

[Blueboy]

Sven,

in some of the pics you can see the small handle that opens/closes the outside vent flap.

so yes, they have the vents.

OK, NAS 110s

PT,

this is the one interior pic that I mention above - you can see where to open the vent.

this one is a NAS 110.

[Blueboy]

the dash layout has changed, yet, the vents remain basically the same on my ´03

The dash gauges are same as LR2 & LR3. The rest of the dash is styled along the lines of the currect production Defender. Hope the dash gauges are the only thing it shares.
