The Land Rover Defender is a British four wheel drive Off-road utility vehicle. It is the product of continued development of the original utility Land Rover Series I launched in 1948. Using the basic yet robust underpinnings of a ladder frame chassis and aluminium body it is infinitely adaptable depending upon the required use, be that farm, commerce, rescue or recreation.

The Defender was not an entirely new model at launch. It used engines and body panels carried over from the Series III Land Rover; gearbox, axles and suspension from the Range Rover.

Recent Changes

• In Late 2007, Land Rover quietly unveiled the Land Rover Defender SVX 200-unit (140 Defender 90 soft-tops and 60 90 station wagons) special edition at the British Red Cross Ball to commemorate Land Rover's 60th Anniversary. The refreshed iconic off-roader will sport a metallic black livery with subtle satin black decals and is available in 90 soft-top and 90 station wagon versions. The front fascia is facelifted with a bare aluminum finish, clear lens headlights and a new front grille. The body recieves tubular side-steps, 'diamond turned' five spoke alloy wheels and reinforced aluminium front undershield while the rear fascia will be updated with LED rear lights.

The interior features Recaro sport seats, alloy gear knobs, satellite navigation, iPod dock, a Premium sound system caged in a metallic silver tubular rollcage that also supports a tailor-made, removable black fabric roof. Each SVX will have a numbered plaque. Production is set to begin in the Spring of 2008.[1]
