New face of the Defender
DEFENDING THE OUTDOOR FAITHFUL
The Land Rover Defender Game Viewer
is on a roll, each month giving thousands of gamers a grandstand view of
Africa’s gorgeous bush.
It has become the vehicle of choice
for upmarket lodges and reserves across southern Africa, the combination of its
comfortable ride and refinement coupled to an affordable ownership proposition
making it a hit in the wild - with guests and lodge owners respectively.
Equipped with a clean-burning, latest-generation 2,2-litre turbodiesel rated at
90kW and 360Nm, it is more than capable of holding its own without disturbing
the peace or fouling the environment.
Based on the ubiquitous Defender 110
pick-up platform, vehicles come off the Solihull, United Kingdom, line prepared
for Game Viewer duty and undergo the full conversion locally after which they
are ready to go into action as either nine- or 11-seater game viewers.
Fundamental changes which take place in the overseas plant as part of the
process include fitment of Heavy Duty rear suspension and deletion of features
such as air conditioning and traction control. The fitment of the stadium
seating and sturdy canopy is done in South Africa by a specialist bodybuilder
while a wide array of optional extras enable owners to tailor it to their
needs.
Game Viewer has successfully passed
a South African Bureau of Standards rollover test, and has also been designed –
despite the fact that most will never be driven on public roads – to meet all
homologation requirements. This includes braking, suspension load, and seatbelt
‘pull’ test. All occupants enjoy the safety and convenience of a retractable
lap belt.
A host of clever features fine-tune
Game Viewer to its specialized role, one of which is a bullbar which hinges
into a vertical position to become a serving platform. A modern touch is the
provision of 12 Volt power points so that electronic equipment can be recharged
on the move. Life in the great outdoors has never been so civilized.
On-site servicing by Land Rover
field technicians minimises downtime, while the standard 3-yr/100 000 km Land
Rover warranty applies.
