5 November 2015

Land Rover’s milestone vehicle the ‘Defender 2,000,000’ has landed in Dubai for an exclusive preview.

Dubai, UAE, November 5th 2015 ‑ Land Rover's milestone vehicle the 'Defender 2,000,000' has landed in Dubai for an exclusive preview at Dubai International Motor Show ahead of its special auction at Bonhams on 16th December, when car collectors from across the globe are expected to gather in London to bid for the unique car.

The two millionth Series Land Rover and Defender built in Solihull, UK, was displayed in the Al Fahidi district of the city, the historical heart of Dubai. To reflect Land Rover's rich history and evolution through the decades, the vehicle was presented alongside a Series I Land Rover. The Defender pedal car concept, a hand‑built tribute to Defender's legacy which could be a popular collector's piece and children's toy in the region, completed the trio.

Notes to Editors

  • The Defender 2,000,000 will be on display at next week's Dubai Motor Show, where interested buyers will be able to pick up a Bonhams sale catalogue. With Land Rover set to cease production of the Defender in January next year, the auction at Bonhams will be one of the last opportunities to buy one of the final models to be built in Solihull.

  • Celebrating 67 years of iconic Land Rover production, the unique Defender 2,000,000 was built by an all‑star cast of special guests to commemorate the UK production of the two‑millionth Series Land Rover and Defender.

  • Reflecting Defender's heritage, all proceeds from the sale will be donated to Land Rover's humanitarian and conservation partners ‑ the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies (IFRC) and the Born Free Foundation.

  • Since 1948 Land Rover has been manufacturing authentic 4x4s that represent true 'breadth of capability' across the model range. Defender, Discovery, Discovery Sport, Range Rover Sport, Range Rover and Range Rover Evoque each define the world's 4x4 sectors, with 80% of this model range exported to over 170 countries.
