33 years ago, we tested the Land Rover Defender in exclusive County trim and it became one of our greatest road tests ever:
Among serious off-roaders, the County V8’s 0-60mph time of 13.6sec was best by only the far pricier Range Rover, but crude aerodynamics hampered progress above that speed.
It was almost unstoppable off road, though, climbing 45deg gradients, comfortably traversing 40deg slopes and parrying rough surfaces with ease. The on-road tradeoffs were vague steering, pronounced body roll and heavy understeer, although the ride was supple and refinement neared Range Rover standards.
Although full carpeting, tweed upholstery and a leather steering wheel boosted comfort, the interior disappointed for its price, with flimsy, ill-fitting plastics, erratic electrics and poor ventilation. The rear seats were too small for long trips, too.
