Standing out in Grasmere Green, this example of Land Rover’s Heritage Edition Defender is one of just 400 built to commemorate the long-running 4x4’s final production. Fitted with body-colour wheels, almond upholstery, and ‘HUE 166’ badges, all came in the same colour and are some of the most desirable late-run Defenders around. This Station Wagon 110 version is powered by Land Rover’s 2. 2-litre four cylinder diesel, hooked up to a six-speed manual gearbox, including low-range four-wheel drive transmission - this is a Land Rover Defender after all. ‘S999 HUE’ has seating for seven, interior upholstery has been fitted with seat covers to keep the pale cloth clean. As is customary for the Defender, it is fitted with a hard wearing interior, though there are respites from the black plastic in the shape of cloth-covered door handles and a body-coloured instrument panel for example.
The current owner is the only one ‘S999 HUE’ has had, and it comes with the cherished plate, echoing the badges on the vehicle’s flanks, which are the registration number for the car that inspired the limited edition series. Despite being an eight year old car, the Defender 110 Heritage Edition has only covered an indicated 41, 122 miles, and has a full service history from Lloyds Land Rover and specialists. Clearly well cared for, and owned by a Land Rover enthusiast throughout, ‘S999 HUE’ is described by the vendor as in ‘excellent’ condition throughout, from engine, transmission, and electrics, to bodywork, paint, and interior quality.
One of only 400 Heritage Edition Land Rover Defenders made
Kept in immaculate condition
Distinctive colour scheme, and protected interior upholstery
The Land Rover Defender was introduced in 1983, as a more modern development of the original Series Land Rover introduced in 1948. Visually, it retained the classic looks, but featured notable upgrades such as coil springs front and rear, a full-length bonnet, integrated headlights, single-piece windscreen and wider tracks with extended wheelarches. A true design icon, the Defender was continually developed right up until production ended in 2016 – and the name today survives in an all-new and brilliantly-conceived version that pays tribute to the original in a thoroughly modern way.
