Basic and dated yes but it does exactly what it says on the tin. Best of all, it’s home-grown. According to Land Rover, this concept DC100, which makes its debut at the Frankfurt Motor Show

later this month, is meant to be a modern interpretation of a new Defender intended to arrive in 2015. It’s never easy replacing a modern motoring icon and we certainly don’t envy the job of

Land Rover’s design boss Gerry McGovern. However, along with the new Evoque, the stylish DC100 shows that Land Rover isn’t scared of pushing the brand into the future.
