The Land Rover Defender is one of the most iconic vehicles ever made and it earned its reputation serving landowners domestically in the UK, British Empire, and other far flung territories overseas. The original Land Rover was introduced in 1948, and was developed continuously until finally being phased out in 2016, a remarkable 67-year production run that cemented the reputation of Land Rover as a manufacturer of durable workhorse vehicles that were nearly unstoppable in even the roughest conditions. Rebranded as the Defender in the 1980s, the vehicle’s anachronistic character ultimately became one of its selling points and helped a resurgence in interest which has driven the Defender to become genuinely collectible.

On this Episode of ISSIMI DRIVES, Lorenzo pins the Himalaya against an original 1987 "Ninety" to highlight the differences.
