Similarly, fellow committee colleagues and I deeply appreciate the resounding vote of confidence given by the membership and we will re-double our efforts to deliver for the Group during this year and next.” ![]() Land Rover has gone back to the place where it all began to start a year-long celebration of the iconic Defender. A unique 1km sand drawing at Red Wharf Bay in Anglesey, UK, marks the launch of three exclusive limited edition models and the beginning of an exciting new chapter in the Defender story. As UK production of the current Defender enters its final phase, Land Rover will use 2015 to celebrate its global automotive icon. Land Rover vehicle line director Nick Rogers said: “Passion and enthusiasm surround everything we do with Defender, and that will never change. With a history stretching back 68 years, this is a Land Rover that has thrived for decades on its unquestionable capability and iconic shape. I now have the honour of being one of the many enthusiasts at Land Rover committed to creating a fitting successor to the legendary Defender.” |
