The Land Rover Defender V8 Bond Edition arrives as a limited run of 300 V8 Defenders to mark the arrival of James Bond No Time To Die. The latest James Bond film, No Time To Die, has been a victim of Covid, with its premiere delayed several times as the pandemic made it impossible to […]

There’s a new Land Rover Defender Trophy Edition, a limited-run of 220 to honour Camel Trophy Land Rovers, but not for the UK.

The now JLR-owned Bowler builds the Bowler Defender Challenge using a new Land Rover Defender 90 built to rally.

It’s almost five years since we revealed plans by Ineos to recreate the Land Rover Defender for the 21st century, just as Land Rover ended production of the original Defender.
