Land Rover Defender Production Comes to a halt
Earlier this year,the production of one of the world’s most iconic jeeps ceased after 68 years.
The very last Land Rover Defender rolled off the production line at Jaguar Land Rover’s Solihull Lode Lane plant in January.
The modern Land Rover Defenders were in many ways virtually the same as the very first Land Rover launched in April 1948, modeled on the war-time Jeep.
It was understood that time had been called on the Defender due to tough new European Union emissions regulations.
On top of this, the jeep has struggled to keep pace with modern safety standards due to its ‘old-fashioned’ design.
