Sad but true!
The Land Rover Defender is dead.
Killed by The Nanny State but only because that's good for you!
Iconic Landy killed by nanny state - IOL Motoring 4x4

"The makers say that the decision to stop production is “mainly legislation-based”, and I guess the same was said when steam trains gave way to diesel. There is to be a new model with the Defender name, made not in Solihull but somewhere in eastern Europe, but with its curious modern styling it will be no more a real Land Rover than today’s Mini has anything to do with the Austin Mini of half a century ago."
