The front and rear mudflaps carry the heritage Land Rover logo, there’s aluminium heritage badging at the front and rear, which I watched one Defender fan stroking as I approached the thing in a carpark. There’s a heritage style front grille and head-light surrounds and body coloured steel wheels. The Heritage models are painted in beautiful Grassmere Green metallic paint with contrasting Alaska White roof, door and tail-gate hinges are painted in Indus Silver giving them a polished cast iron look. Or, rather, such is the draw of this Land Rover Defender 90 Heritage. Stops you in the street as you’re climbing up into the thing, or just about falls over to get a second look at the thing as you drive by. A friendly club where everyone waves to one another when they pass by on the road. When you’re driving a Defender you become part of a club. Even as I write this I’ve got a browser window open with a list of Defenders available at Army auctions. After my week behind the wheel I was literally black and blue, but I was also left with a split melon grin and an immediate desire to buy a Defender.
Never have I bumped, knocked and bruised myself in a week with a test car so many times as I did with the Defender 90 Heritage.
LAND ROVER DEFENDER 2015 SERIES
And, my apologies but I missed the fact the 110 and Country Wagon names were also used between Series III and Defender – the Society is strong, eh, Dion. IN JANUARY 2016, an impressive 67 years of Land Rover Defender production will come to an end… and, before members of the Royal Society of Land Roverists take up pen and parchment to correct me, yes, I do know the Defender hasn’t been in production for 67 years – it only adopted that name in 1990 I’m using it as a collective term for the Series I, II and III Land Rovers.
