News

Here at Land Rovers UK we appreciate times are tough for many people economically right now but we are pleased to see that Defender sales, year after year, continue to defy gloomy consumer retail spend forecasts: over the last 7 days alone we sold 15 Defenders - of all types and variations - to customers all over the UK. This demonstrates the consumer confidence associated with the Land Rover Defender vehicle as an investment asset and not just another means of getting from A to B.

Increasingly our customers seem to be moving away from the more luxurious, larger engined 4x4s and putting their money in to the Land Rover Defender: a vehicle which depreciates at a slower rate than pretty much any other car in the UK market. A top of the line Range Rover is a lovely thing but not if its value drops by £1,000 every month after you’ve driven it off the forecourt!

The simplicity of the Defender means; no ludicrously expensive repairs; no complex and problematic technology; no terrifying value depreciation; and a no-thrills, practical, and investment safe family vehicle.

If you need a 4x4, the Land Rover Defender is where the clever money is. If you’re new to the beast, come on down and take a look. You might be surprised at just how loveable they are!

To all our prospective customers out there, please take a moment to check out the blog of our friends Jonnie & Sanna; a pair of adventurous souls who purchased one of our Land Rovers a while back... looks like the guys have accrued some real good times during their many cross-continent Land Rover journeys.

Surely this is what Defender ownership is all about?

The Land Rover Defender can trace its roots back to the original Land Rover Series of 1948 but the company is now finally at work on a replacement truck which should become ready for pre-order in 2015. Our friends and customers keep asking us about the top secret ‘Project Icon’ so here is what we know:

The name ‘Project Icon’ hints at how hard an act to follow the current Defender is, which might explain why Land Rover has not tried to replace the Defender before now. To many people the Defender is Land Rover!

The new Defender, as yet officially unnamed, is likely to be based on the T5 steel chassis used in the current Land Rover Discovery and Range Rover Sport which is favoured for rugged vehicles with a requirement to tow or cross rough terrain. As the owners of Jaguar Land Rover (JLR); Tata Industries, also owns one of the world’s largest steel companies, with expertise in high strength lightweight steel fabrication, Defender lovers can expect some exciting innovation in the new model.

The new vehicle will also support various wheelbase lengths, enabling it to come in a multitude of configurations for domestic, leisure, commercial, and industrial use. The new Defender will remain one of the most versatile utility vehicles ever manufactured. Engines are likely to come from the JLR stable, the mainstay being a version of the TDV6 3.0 that will be further prepared for extreme off road use.

Other than the above, little is known about ‘Project Icon’ and JLR is keeping tight lipped. Rest assured though, both old and new Defenders are certain to remain as hugely popular and sought after as ever! We, for one, are excited to see what those clever Land Rover chaps come up with!

The dog has developed dreadlocks. The kids brought more of the football pitch home than they left at school. And mud, leaves and puddles litter the roads. Autumn has arrived. The antidote?

Excellent news: Exmoor Trim's new lock and fold forward facing seats have arrived! They can be fitted in to the load area of any TDi or TD5 Station Wagon or any Hard Top. They are comfortable, safe, robust, suitable for children and can be fitted in full for a total of £1,132 per pair (about half the cost of buying the kit from Land Rover). 

We can even convert any Hard Top Defender in to a Station Wagon i.e. we can install sliding rear windows and 2x lock and fold seats for just £1,602 in total. Get the practical benefits of the Station Wagon without paying for one!
