Special edition defenders

3 models been announced adventure, heritage and autobiography at a staggering £61k

I like the look of the heritage defender. 21MY Defender 90 S 3.0 D200

to be fair they all look nice, I like the Heritage for its history, the Adventure for its nod to the G4 specs and the Anniversary for its looks (but definitely not its price!)

The heritage is the one that will hold its value the longest though

LR are probably just testing the market for when the new Defender comes out!

Just to see if they can extortion more money out of the loyal Defender customer, like they did with the loyal customers of the Discovery and now the new FL2 replacement - the Discovery Sport.

They're just using their proven "give it another name and we can get more money for it" philosophy

The grille looks wrong on the Heritage, otherwise I quite like it. Of the three I'd go for the Adventure, but at that price I'd rather buy a standard car and modify it the way I want it.

A couple of interior photos from the heritage model








I'm really tempted by a heritage 90, but can I live with it? 21MY Defender 90 S 3.0 D200

Wasn't there talk of a V8 engined defender for the last 50 of the line?

I would have been tempted by the autobiography had it been unveiled this time last year and would have waited for it!

Seem a bit odd how the Heritage has different prices bands which is understandable but the Adventure 90 and 110 are the same price Shocked clearly one is more metal for your money!

Why couldnt they offer the autobiography as a 110 model Whistle

Can't see my family putting a dead calf in the back of one of these though and the dogs would have to wipe their paws before they got in.

. The Buick/rover engine would not now pass emission laws so would need to be different V8 so seems unlikely for just fifty vehicles.

Did anyone else notice that the picture they drew on the beach was very similar to the dc100 but with a td4 bump on the bonnet?

At that price only the hard up farmers can afford a new one. Shocked
