^^ LOL, an M471 Lightweight 2.7 Speedster with R taillights! One-of-one. You need to spray the Fuchs red and add the ducktail, though.

Was it a Targa that got chopped? What is the powertrain? Looks like a lot of fun.

I was doing some mechanical work on it, sat for some time in a collection in Florida, carbs were jacked up. It's running a 3.2 twin plug with webers. Not sure if it started life as a targa or a coupe. It was certainly clean!

We just purchased an Axis T220 wake boat, should be picking it up this Friday! Quick question - for a boat that weighs approximately 4,500 lbs do we need to do anything to the Defender to safely tow? Have the factory tow packs and ours is a P400.

No you should be good. 4500 is nothing. I'm towing close to 8k fully loaded with my boat and it tows no problem!

So just the standard trailer connections that were installed at the factory? This will be the heaviest thing we’ve towed. Thought I’d be all set just wanted to make sure!

Looking forward to adding some pics to this thread soon!
