When Land Rover announced they were killing of the Defender in 2013, there was a mass outpouring of disappointment and sadness from Land Rover enthusiasts all over the world. The much loved off roader was an icon of British motoring and probably the most famous production 4x4 we’ve ever known. Equally at home on the narrow and winding lanes of North Yorkshire or thundering across the pitch black Iraqi desert on a special forces raid, the humble Land Rover forged its self a reputation as a rugged workhorse and a design classic. The last in a line of a well loved automotive institution - never has one vehicle given so much to so many.
