Thread: Who will get the last defender in Australia?

The final 10 cars to come off the line were a,

110 station wagon,
110 pick up,
90 station wagon,
110 SW,
90 SW,
110 double-cab pick up,
90 station wagon (Heritage spec),
110 SW,
90 SW,
90 pick up.

The very last model to be built was in fact the 2,016,933rd Defender which I guess will wind up in the museum.

Info from Autocar UK.

I read the last one went straight to the Gaydon museum.

Sent from my GT-P5210 using AULRO mobile app

Ordered mine last year, June I think. went in on a Saturday to "enquire" about last date to order and was told it the Friday just gone ...but because we've bought one from them before they'll see what they could do. So there and then I was faced with the final buy one or keep my Amarok. not a tough choice really. Love driving my wife's D90 and I also have a 1987 Perentie so a New Black 110 would compliment the others

Dealer confined the following week I got a production slot.

Boat (Tulane) arrived in Fremantle where (for some reason) my car was being off loaded. But the boat carried onto Melbourne ????? Told 1 week for customs/compliance, 2-3 weeks to get across to Adelaide and then to ARB for some extras So hopefully the end of this month it should be on my drive (or in the hills).

Ironically I was in Fremantle this week with work and stayed in North Freeo. As you go over the bridge there was a whole load of new cars but couldn't see a big black defender amongst them, but i felt closer to it.

Soon....so very soon........

I even asked Land Rover UK to get some photos when it came off the production line which they said have done!, although still waiting for them.

I only purchased my first defender 2 years ago after having a few Discovery II's and i'm hooked. One of the only cars I've owned that I get excited about driving everyday! It just never gets boring.

Me too!......... Keswick Green 90, contrasting white roof with white steel standard rims/Michelin tyres, arriving March.

Nice work re photos!

Mine was scheduled for February 17th but the dealer contacted me today and said it's now March 11th or thereabouts.

Do you know what ship it is on? If you have your VIN number you can look it up.
