But imagine hearing that engine approaching, and then seeing an old Defender come round the corner!

I think you'll find it all came to an abrupt end rather tragically, shame, there was some very graphic footage doing the rounds. But agreed a lovely sound, prefer a V12 Matra personally!

....I’m just waiting for some scallywag to pipe up that a 6.354 sounds and looks better than this expensive bit of I-talian junk.

I'd never watched hillclimbs before, but it looks much more dangerous/exciting than F1. Going through roads at those speeds with trees, stone walls, steep gulleys at the side must be terrifying.

It would certainly wake the neighbours up !!!
Not the ideal engine for a Defender, your mechanic would need about an hours notice to warm the engine (literally) before you try and start it!!

The good news is the heater would work after about 4 seconds on tick over.
Im not sure on gallons per mile but i guess the lottery win should cover that...
