Your most faithful shoot companion: celebrating the Land Rover Defender
File photo dated 29/01/00 of Queen Elizabeth II driving herself in a Land Rover Defender 110 to the stables on the Sandringham Estate in Norfolk, as one of the most-loved and long-lived road vehicles, and a favourite with the Queen, will cease production when the last Land Rover Defender will be produced by Jaguar Land Rover (JLR) at Solihull in the West Midlands on Friday.
Used on shoots to carry Guns between drives, store the shot game and provide shelter to dogs and Guns alike when things get a little too muddy – the Defender is an important part of any shoot day.
Here are our favourite photos of the Land Rover Defender.
