2015 Land Rover Defender 90 Adventure

After 68 years of delivering mankind to the ends of the earth and back again, in January of 2016 the boundless Land Rover Defender exited the building, and it will never be the same again.

This Land Rover Defender 90 Adventure is a smart example of one of the end-of-production special editions, which has been driven and enjoyed as intended. Under the bonnet is the 2.2 litre, 90KW turbo-diesel engine, with permanent four-wheel drive via a six-speed manual transmission.

As motoring icons go, there are few that deserve the accolade as much as the Land Rover Defender. To mark the end of an incredible production run, Land Rover offered its workhorse in three special edition ‘Celebration’ models: Autobiography, Heritage and Adventure. The latter included three paint choices.

Finished in Corris Grey, just one of only three colours offered on the Adventure model, it also has a contrasting Santorini Black roof, bonnet, tailgate, and front grille, as well as front and side underbody protection, and gloss black diamond-turned alloys – along with a raft of other upgrades. Some interior luxury is provided in the Ebony Premium leather seats, air-conditioning. First registered on 6th of January 2016, this is a very late build model.

Accompanying the car are all original manuals including the owners handbook, service and warranty booklets, original Land Rover keys within their leather wallet.

So collectable because these “last of “ cars were built on the same production line the first ever Land Rovers down in Solihull, England, this Adventure Edition SWB Defender Is the perfect way to farewell an icon.

This Land Rover Defender 90 Adventure is a cherished example of one of the very last of the original and iconic British 4x4s. In Adventure trim it makes for a great rugged road trip vehicle; sure-footed in long-distance motorway driving while being hugely capable across rough tracks and other off-road terrain. Rather than being cocooned and preserved with delivery mileage, this collectible special edition has been driven as intended, and should prove to be a robust and enjoyable all-rounder for its next owner.
