Looks like a badly built Victorian greenhouse. Built by unskilled drunks.

Haven’t seen one of those old type oval German export plates in long time.

I think I’d need my beer goggles on for that one.

1960s British childcare, seems about right.

Came here to say this. 

The concept is that Lucifer has resigned his post, “gifted” the key to hell and walked away, he now has only one faithful demon who followed him.

I broadly concur with your choices…. and yet. They need something older, reminiscent of something more ancient and dark, like Crowley in Good Omens* who drives a vintage Bentley. So in that sense the black ‘62 Corvette does look the part.

Hmm. Another seemingly odd French decision after PSA/Opel-Vauxhall.

In order to make profit they have to think in the short term, in order to maintain “the brand’s” credibility and image they need to think long term.

So mentally ill people are mentally ill? OK, got it.

I only ever saw one of these, on the garage deck of a cross channel ferry. It had Swiss or Italian plates, I forget.

No. I’ve daily driven my Defenders and might well do again, yeah it’s a bit uncomfortable after a car but you get used to it and driving something that doesn’t flatter your driving abilities makes one a better driver.

Welp, independant will limit it’s mobility and monocoque will limit its… mutability. (Is that the correct word? I dunno.)

“… now being upscale seems to be LR’s only raison d’être.”

Actually that dashboard and rear door are the improved versions!

Pure utility, does the job. It wasn’t meant to be “nice”, no more than any other tool or piece of equipment.

That ones been lifted with bigger tyres. Traditionally L-R did not approve of those things and didn’t sell them like that.

I’m impressed. A lot of people are saying those 2.2 Ford engines don’t do much over 100k miles in whatever vehicle - Ranger, Defender or Transit.

Pose value.

You get used to the on road feel. Anyway, it’s character forming.
