In 2015/16 Land Rover built just 400 Heritage Edition Land Rover Defenders which marked 67 years of the model's production. In 90” or 110” wheelbase, all were painted Grasmere Green, the colour borne by the original 1948 Land Rover prototype and a 'HUE 166' wing badge, that paid tribute to the original car's number plate. On 29th January 2016, the last ever Defender rolled off the assembly line in Solihull, England, where Series and Defender Land Rovers had been built continuously for 68 years, 2,016,933 of them. It was a 90 Heritage Edition Soft Top, converted by JLR for a very important client, who desired the last Defender off the production line. One of only two ever made, the other was retained by the Jaguar Land Rover Heritage collection.
This Grasmere Green example is a tribute to that last ever Defender, converted by NWD 4x4 Ltd in Rossendale in 2021, using a well maintained 2008 Defender 90 pick-up as the donor vehicle. Mechanically, it features the 2.4 TDCI engine, as opposed to the 2.2 TDCI engines fitted to Defenders from 2012 onwards. Externally, it is all but identical to the last made example, albeit it carries the spare wheel on the rear door and not inside and has the hardtop conversion. The interior has heritage cream seats with matching occasional rear bench seats including seat belts and a mahogany steering wheel. Specified with electric windows and boasting a Pioneer radio/CD player with separate USB charge ports.
Presented in superb condition it has also recently benefitted from works including a new clutch, master cylinders (brake and clutch), steering box, new discs and pads, steering arm, rear shocks and track rod ends. The invoices for these and service invoices are coupled to the invoice from NWD 4x4 for the conversion, service invoices, two sets of keys and handbook pack. This example offers more than just nostalgia, as it has been built to an exceptional standard and comes with an MoT test certificate valid until February 2027. The private plate T18 HUE is included as is a factory immobiliser and floor pedal lock. A fabulous example of this motoring icon, that would not look out of place in either town or country.
