Not the pimp ones specifically, all defenders... my insurance broker told me they were the third most nicked car in the country and no surprises considering you can remove the doors with an allen key from the outside without even fussing with the locks
very easy to strip down and resell, so much so that the insurance on a defender was double that of my G-klasse !
tilover-
the later models come with such modern wonderments as an 'immo-bilise-or and a 'steer-ing lock'. Just beef up on proprietary security. You're looking at about another 300 quid all in . that gets you a disklock, clutchklaw + vehicle tracker with subscription to a tracking service. There's a massive export market in defenders, which is why they hold their price better than many other cars, as such, they are stolen to order by pro car scrotes whose MO is to pull up alongside your car, load the fucker onto a truck, drive it to a deserted parking lot and leave it there for a week to see if anyone comes to claim it.
Insurance isn't nearly as bad as you'd think.

Looks great IR. Word of warning though, not sure if it was more to do with the newer chelsea tractor versions, but defenders were on a real hit list for getting nicked! If it's street parked take some precautions!
