THE STORY

The 2011 Land Rover Defender was a rugged, utilitarian 4x4 vehicle that has a worldwide reputation for tough versatility.

Powered by a “Puma” 2.4 liter, 4-cylinder turbo-diesel powerplant sourced from Ford, the engine produced 360Nm of torque and was coupled to a 6-speed manual transmission.

The cars also had a desirable 3,500 kg towing capacity and permanent 4x4.

They were offered with three distinct wheelbases – 93, 110 and 130-inches. There were many model configurations including the dual cab utility that is highly prized for its unique combination of a 5-seat passenger cabin and rugged rear tray.

In addition, this version gained pop-culture fame when it was heavily featured in the James Bond films “Skyfall” and “Spectre”.

This model is desirable today with a loyal, global enthusiast base and it is widely considered to be a modern cult vehicle.

Production of the classic Defender shape ceased in 2016 and older models are becoming increasingly valuable.
