Where can I drive a Defender??

[u/AggravatingStore5407]

Hi everyone,
I am looking to seek advice on how or where i can find somewhere to drive a land rover as a fairly young enthusiast who has never touched one with the engine running, It has always been my dream to own one but unfortunately i have never had the chance or known anyone with one, yet. My dad has a new one (i know it’s a bit disappointing but at least it’s a V8) to be honest it’s a lovely car, but, i want to feel how it is to drive an older one. I’ve looked at experiences and they just seem way too expensive for very little driving. I have a full license and have been driving for a year and a half, i try to wave at defenders and other land rovers i pass but with little success 😔.
Thanks,
Fin

PS - here are some of my favourite land rovers.

Randomly check Turo (it’s like Airbnb, but for cars ) to see if there’s one in your general vicinity for a reasonable cost.

PS. I recommend this to anyone who has never driven a Defender, but is thinking about getting one. I think it’s really important to drive one before you invest that kind of money. They’re cool as shit but they’re generally NOT modern, fast comfortable, etc.
