All of them seem very overpriced though...

Copy & Paste from the Post article...

The Autobiography Edition promises more performance, luxury and comfort, thanks to its extensive equipment list and a power upgrade.

The Heritage Edition is inspired by early Land Rover models and has distinctive Grasmere Green paintwork and a contrasting white roof. It features a heritage grille and HUE 166 graphics, recalling the registration plate of the first ever pre-production Land Rover nicknamed ?Huey?.

The Adventure Edition is aimed at Land Rover customers who embrace the Defender's ?go anywhere? attitude. It comes with additional underbody protection and special Goodyear MT/R tyres to boost all-terrain capability.

Prices range from 27,800 (GBP) to 61,845 (GBP).

Going with that the Autobiography could be around $135,000 AUD with Luxury Car Tax at today's exchange rate...

Cheers,

Lou

Land Rover will not kill off much-loved Defender after all with plans to build 4x4 abroad | This is Money

More rumours? Who knows, but it might make up for these limited editions being only available in the EU.

Except we are getting 2 of them!

Adventure and Heritage are coming here.

Only the Autobiography is staying in the UK - it's $114,000 AUD by the way

Tombie,

It's unfortunately not just a direct conversion on the exchange rate...

Compare the price of a standard 2015 Australian Spec 90 with a UK mid level spec 90's price (closest comparison) and you'll be quite surprised how much more we pay for what would be pretty basic spec in the UK.

LCT, delivery cost etc would make the Autobiography 110 closer to $135,000 if they brought it here, hence not a viable option...

Cheers,

Lou

Thanks Tombie, the Heritage is certainly my favourite, and at $49,500.00, oh so tempting.

I never thought I'd see the day that a Defender would attract a Luxury Car Tax, now there's a contradiction in terms. How can they justify that much for a Defender? Thanks Lou.

The Autobiography will probably get snapped up by all the Premier League Footballers anyhow.

This has probably been discussed before but I was was wondering what would be a good alternate name for the new Defender?

My thinking was prompted by a book I was reading where Richard of York back in the War of the Roses was the "Protector and Defender of the Realm".

Anyway, to start it off what about the "Protector". Similar enough concept to the Defender and if you go back almost 600 years there is an historical connection.
