To mark the final year of Defender production, Land Rover is releasing two very special limited edition models. The two hotly anticipated models celebrate a different element of the vehicle’s versatile character. “We wanted to mark the end of Defender production at Solihull with a special edition but coming up with a single identity was impossible, so we developed two very different interpretations of the Defender to reflect its strength and breadth of character,” said Nick Rogers, Land Rover Vehicle Line Director.. “Whether our customers want to celebrate Land Rover’s unrivalled off-road heritage, demand the ultimate in terms of design and performance or have a genuine thirst for adventure, there will be a limitededition Defender that will be fit for purpose.” The Heritage Edition is inspired by early Land Rover models and mixes nostalgic design cues with modern creature comforts. It will be available in global markets and is identified by distinctive Grasmere Green paintwork and a contrasting white roof. A heritage grille and HUE 166 graphics, recalling the registration plate of the first ever pre-production Land Rover nicknamed ‘Huey’, also identify the Heritage model. It hits showrooms from November with production limited to 2,654 globally. Australian prices to be announced Q2 2015. The exciting new Adventure Edition also arrives in dealerships from November. The Adventure Edition will be available in global markets and is aimed at Land Rover customers who relish the great outdoors and embrace the Defender’s ‘go anywhere, do anything’ attitude. It comes fitted with additional underbody protection and Goodyear MT/R tyres to boost the Defender’s already class-leading all-terrain capability. Unique decals and a leather-trimmed cabin ensure the Adventure Edition stands out from the Defender crowd. A total of 2,277 Adventure Editions are available globally. Australian prices to be announced Q2 2015. Word from our Land Rover Australia source is that demand is already high for these limited models just 24 hours after announcing them and demand is expected to outweigh the Australian allocation.. Get in quick before they are gone and we reach the end of an era.
