Land Rover Defender production era just ended today

Land Rover Defender production era just ended today. The last of the current generation Land Rover Defenders rolled off the assembly line today in Solihull, England, where the iconic 4x4 has been produced continuously for 68 years.
Since 1948, Land Rover has built and sold over 2 million Series (the predecessor to the Defender) and Defenders.

Although the beautiful, boxy Brit will be no more in this current form, Land Rover has announced the new Heritage Restoration program to breathe new life into classic Defender and Series vehicles. Twelve craftspeople — 10 of whom worked on the Defender production line — will restore early models of the 4x4, which Land Rover will offer up for sale.
If that weren't enough, Land Rover has also launched a new Defender Journeys online hub that allows owners around the globe to track and share their off-road adventures. The small number of Defenders originally imported into the U.S. between 1993 and 1997 now fetch well over $60,000, a good '80s import can be had around the $20,000 mark.
