I came upon this Defender by chance in Essex (I think) as it waited to tip its load of asphalt, and it would have originally worked in North Wales if the NDM909L registration is anything to go by.

A Chelsea Truck Company modified Land Rover Defender 90, featuring custom wheels, bolt-on arch extensions, custom grill and fully-trimmed interior. Photographed under the Humber Bridge in Hessle, East Yorkshire. Image taken on a Nikon D800 with 24-70mm f/2.8 lens.
Since the Land Rover went into production in 1948, over 2 million Series I, II, III and Defenders have been built in Solihull, England, helping the model become one of the most iconic utility vehicles in the world.
Originally envisioned for farming and agricultural use, from the 1950s on Land Rovers went everywhere, did everything, were used by everyone, and along the way became a uniquely classless automobile.
Back in January 2016, the last Defender rolled off the assembly line, where Series and Defender Land Rovers had been built continuously for 68 years. It was the grand finale for the Defender that included 400 Heritage models, available as either 90 (two door, short wheelbase) or 110 (four door, long wheelbase) models.
As Land Rover stopped building that worldwide workhorse 5 years ago, I like to honor their heritage with a Lego version of the very last Heritage Edition. The design is a Model 90 Station Wagon, sized about 34 studs in length, 17 width and 19 height.
The over-all appearance, right up to the engine and interior, dashboard, seats and center console, even the two levers for gear shifting and locking the center differential are adapted to Lego parts as close as possible to the actual design.
Following the iconic original also in construction, rigid Technic axles provide enough travel for great adaption to uneven (shelf-) terrain.

Penrhyn Quarries of Bethesda, North Wales still had this Atkinson Defender tanker on site in the late 80's.
The traditional rear wings on this lorry make it even more of a classic in my eyes!
The talks between the Earl of Haradford and Prættig Úf were unsuccessful and Haradford Castle is now under siege by Prættig Úf and his barbarians. The first arrows are being fired by both sides. Will the Earl be able to defend his stronghold?
Collaborative with SlyOwl or Prættig Úf in Old English.

The Land Rover Defender was built from 1948 until 2016. Until 1990 it was just called Land Rover. This is a 110 long wheelbase station wagon model. Hard to see how old this one is as there were only a few visible changes to the model for almost 25 years.
