After sixty-seven years in production, and more than two million models being produced, the Land Rover Defender will cease to be.
According to Automobile Manufacturing News, Land Rover has made the decision to end production of the Defender in December 2015. The decision is due to the current model not being able to meet the new emission standards that are being introduced all-over.
"A replacement vehicle will join the Land Rover range, but the Defender in its current format is coming to an end," said a Land Rover spokesman.
What that will be and when the replacement will debut are up in the air at the moment.
