Jaguar Land Rover is set to end production of the iconic Defender in 2015, 2 years short of it’s previous deadline of 2017. This will end it’s 67 year run from it’s humble beginnings as the Series 1 back in 1948. Main reasons for the current Defender to end are mainly due to emissions restrictions and safety.
“A replacement vehicle will join the Land Rover range, but the Defender in its current format is coming to an end,” the spokesman added.
