The Defender is on it’s way out and these are some pictures from the factory before all is shut down. I still want one: > A Last Look At The Land Rover Defender Production Line > the Defender will be the last of a model line that traces all the way back to the Series 1 Land Rover that was first unveiled in 1948. > This series of images shows the Defender production line in its last few months of operation, it’s interesting to note the amount of hand work that goes into building the model when you consider the level of robotic automation used on most production lines. > **[A Last Look At The Land Rover Defender Production Line](https://silodrome.com/land-rover-defender-production-line/)** > > The news that the Land Rover Defender would not be continued for the 2016 model year has left many marque enthusiasts in a state of nervous trepidation ---

they have the evoque to fill that segment… I think it would have to be at least as good as the current jeep wrangler offroad. ---
