22 years old Land Rover Defender 110 - Extreme speed on French motorway

An unbelievable experience during a trip to from London to Italy, with a 22years old 110 2.8 Isuzu Hybrid Defender - top speeds of up to (wow!) 77 mph, cruising at 65 - 70 average mph, this proves that travelling on motorway and passing other cars is possible!!!! ;) (sorry video only shows 65mph so you'll have to trust my word)

Criggie - the note on exreme speed was a bit of fun ;) - a mate with a v8 lightweight + overdrive pushed it to nearly 90 on a motorway downhill bit...Having said that....it's 65mph for 12 hrs straight to south Europe, no stop - Much more fun that with a regular car when all you ca hear is your passengers talk!

Any faster and I would have needed a speed camera detector ;)

Where abouts was this? Which section area or region were you in at the time here when took this video? Heading England to France through to Spain? Just curious.

@piggy501 haha I see :D I have heard of them going 60 or so but in that case I'd reather have a defender as they are so much more comfy :L

@criggie really my mum's got one and she can't do anymore than 40 it's on my channel what have you done to yours???

Pathetic. I've had my 1973 series 3 at 67 mph, and that's 37 years old.

(damn is it scary - you know you're going fast)
