For the past 60 years, the Land Rover Series models and subsequently, the Defender, have played crucial roles in nation building all over the world. The model was and remains the mainstay of many security forces, development agencies and service organisations due to its superior off-roading capabilities and almost unbreakable design and all-aluminium body construction. Today, it is still the preferred vehicle for many outdoor and off-roading enthusiasts.
