Looks like Santana no longer build the PS10 but will be concentrating on the
Iveco Massif

Looks familiar doesn't it!

In fact it looks pretty dammed good!

I can't help but wonder though, was the design brief to "take a defender and
uglify it"!
Like the interior, like the transmission (pity there's no petrol option
really), like the multi-leafs with high articulation, just think it's ugly
on the outside. Too ugly.

I'm sure someone will coble a defender front end kit together for them.

Lol, I wouldn't be too surprised if it fitted straight on, lol. It looks
like they got ssang-yong or kia to do the design work....! I actually liked
the look of the PS10 front end though, maybe it would fit easier?

The PS10 Military looked like my dream 110.

Looks like Santana/Iveco have decided that if Land Rover don't want to
build proper commercial off-roaders anymore, they will...

On a slightly related note I was being driven (and hence not able to
slow down for a better look) along the motorway in northern Italy
yesterday and passing a police compound spotted a couple of 110s and
next to them something that looked like a 110 but just all around about
20% bigger (higher, wider, maybe not longer). Any ideas what that was?

Cheers,

AndyC.

176 BHP too... now that's what LR never did, put a decent amount of power in
the bloody thing. Even the TD5 is useless unless you chip it.

That aside, it looks a hell of a lot like a re-styled PS10. I bet it's
pretty much identical mechanically, they were after all already using the
Iveco engines.

One of the local 4x4-flogging places had a 55 plate PS10 wagon, but he's
asking way too much money for it.

It's a shame they didn't go over to the coil-spring suspension though - even
with the paralytic leaves, it's not the same. One thing LR did get right...
