On the issue of the D4 being 'peak Landrover', I have posted before but there is a great chat about the D4 on the Collecting Addicts podcast / youtube channel. Must say, I have really grown to like the series
It is one of the first things chatted about in this episode

Lady Nasher threw me a curve ball yesterday.
This post comes with a warning that it may cause offence to some members on here.
We were parked outside the Ineos dealer in Portsmouth, so had a wander round them because Lady N hadn't even seen one on the road.
She declared that apart from the front bumper she liked them, and would far rather one than a new Defender. This surprised me to be honest.
She's a teacher at an Independent school, and when pushed for an explanation she was, lets just say, highly uncomplimentary about the people who drive them. Heaven doesn't want me, and hell is afraid I'll take over.

My wife totally would get that! Her beef on the school run was the yummy mummies in Range Rovers and X5s. Mind you my daughter used to drive her D3 to school for her final 6 months. 
She loved to park her Fiat 500 amongst them just to make a point.
Anyway, just a heads up, but on the Defender forum there a lot of chat about left foot room in the Ineos but also lots of crazy good prices for new ones or low mileage.

They are not flying off the shelves as they say . For a start There is the issue with VAT being unreclaimable. then they are having heavy fuel usage . Its a shame BUT the VAT issue is unforgiveable.
