Is classic 4×4 hire in London difficult — is the Defender hard to drive?

Do you deliver the Defender to my location in London?

Does vintage mean uncomfortable or unreliable?

Not with ours. The interior has been updated for comfort and the mechanicals are properly sorted. You will not mistake it for a modern SUV — but that is not why anyone hires a Defender.
