Good news for the lovers of powerful vehicles, cars that are factory-all dents and/or karakterbakken: the Defender may continue for a while!

This year celebrates Land Rover that the Defender then finally, with a well-deserved retirement. This ter-terrain vehicle took its first steps in 1948, and in december 2015, are days to wear as a pensioner. The demand for the Defender turns out, however, so large, that the production, even after the turn of the year some months will be completed.

The good news reached us via the Birmingham Post. While Jaguar Land Rover still nothing has been released about a possible extension of the production, clapped an employee of JLR opposite the newspaper about this from the school. Production would continue until at least February 2016, but within the company, even rumors of production until april.

Rolled there last year 17.781 Defenders of the band in Solihull, this year, there’ll be a lot more. The production increased from 80 to 125 copies per day to the considerable increase in demand. Apparently, many people still have a new Defender before it’s too late. Would the tweedehandsprijs of Defenders after the stop of the production, even skyrocket, like the almost as iconic iPod Classic? Incidentally, is there only one shift per day to Defenders geklust, where the other production lines in the factories of Jaguar Land Rover day and night to continue running.

Only for the real (and very rich) enthusiast

In the Netherlands the Defender by slurptax and other tax measures almost prohibitive prices. A Defender 90 starts at 93.000 euro, a Defender 110 will cost you even at least 111.900 euro. And that for a car with 122 hp… at the Beginning of this year, Land Rover introduced three uitzwaaiedities of the Defender, of which the above Heritage without more my favorite. Fortunately, the Netherlands has at least one lover who has such a retro-Defender has been purchased, to my joy I saw there recently a copy in Durgerdam.
