i think its alot to do with the driver not the vehicle

Looking at the splash of the tyres, obviously our poor absent-minded driver was once again forgot to engange 4 Low Gear (or, turn front free-wheel locks off). The angle is not too steep. I could easily tackle it with my "Lenih" (1970 Series IIA 109 Station Wagon; original stocks) and beat that 90's ass like I did in many occassions (with ... off course ... all proper gears enganged).

Acetrucks has a good point. Is the 90 raised as well?
-
@sheldonv8 tbh i dont really think it is a fair test between them as the 90 is newer and coil sprung and more to the point it has a bigger engine with a lot more power
-
@acetrucks1 Straight 4
-
the 90 is a v8 is it not and the series has which engine?
-
that land rover cud have got up ther no bother more to the point there isnt a 90 in the vid any way. the 90s and defenders are better but they were built after the series so the company had a chance to make things better like diff lock and coil springs,but i still prefer a good old series land rover they have much more style and class!

if had tried straight... was a diferent story.

@sheldonv8 You wanna see mine? its in mint condition and its 30 years old. not a SPOT of rust..
-
Um...WHERE is the 90???
Ok...90's are slightly better in many offropad situations due to more power and slightly better articulation derived from their coil springs.
Given that...I think Series are actually the more rugged and better built. Plus: you can start em w/ a hand-crank; they have a split windshield (easy to replace one section); They have Galvanized bumpers, windshields, and end-capping UNLIKE themerely PAINTED ones on the 90; They have bulkhead behind front seats...stronger.

series are lighter wieght but defender have coil springs but a slightly longer wheel base and wider track defender are better offroaders but series have more character
Yep , your right acetrucks1.the 90 is a V8 and its in the other video.......as for a series having style and class, i think maybe "character" and "Looks" would be better words.
