Defender - Land Rover's Legendary Off-roader

Known around the globe as an icon of British engineering, the Land Rover Defender is the ultimate off-roader that has delighted owners for generations. Combining military utility with classic and distinctive design, the Defender had been a ubiquitous presence on the automobile scene since its release more than half a century ago.

But 68 years since the first model came on the market, the production line came to a halt in January 2016. This presents the perfect opportunity to look back over the Land Rover's history, from its first iteration as a utility vehicle in 1948, to the 21st Century special editions.

Landy fans and petrol-heads alike will love "Land Rover Defender", a highly illustrated collection of classic and limited edition models, filled with specs, stats, and images of Defenders both at home and abroad.

Mike Gould worked at Land Rover and its predecessor companies for more than 30 years - a career that included many years when he was responsible for the Land Rover and Defender model lines. As Brand Manager he was in charge of the product when the Defender name was introduced and laid the foundations for the more leisure orientated variants that expanded the model's potential and became so popular.
His time at Land Rover also encompassed a period as Marketing Manager for Special Vehicles and as UK Public Relations Manager.

Der neue Land Rover Defender

For over 70 years, the classic Land Rover, which was called the Defender from 1990 and was last built until the beginning of 2016, has been one of the classics of automotive history. The world is eagerly awaiting the new edition of a vehicle that is just as at home in the bush as it is in the urban jungle.
This autumn, the time has come. Once again, it is a model family that must - and will - meet many needs.

While the British manufacturer remains tight-lipped about the premiere, it gave the team of authors deep insights into the development in advance: Crathorne, Pfannmüller and Schmidt have decades of brand knowledge together, which has opened many doors for them.
At the same time, they accompany the creation of the completely newly developed Defender with the same competence and critical distance that has already distinguished their earlier titles and delighted off-road and brand fans with plenty of insider information. A model chronicle and exclusive image material round off this must-have monograph.
