No civilian versions mentioned and it presumably expired by mid 70s, then nothing until a burst of Defender production (initialyy under Ford ownership) from 2000 until 2013 or soon after. Although why is this one LHD compared to the RHD 88"??

s13a ◊ 2021-09-19 01:03	As I understand, this was supposed to be in Algeria (this desert scene). Where in reality this was filmed, I´ve no clue. As for the ¨miniature kangaroo¨, I think it might be Cuvier's gazelle, but I´m no Attenborough either..
