The last Land Rover Defender has rolled off the production line today!

BEST QUALITY AVAILABLE Handout photo taken with permission from the Twitter feed of Land Rover UK PR of the last Land Rover Defender coming off the production line at Solihull. PRESS ASSOCIATION Photo. Picture date: Friday January 29, 2016. More than two million of the 4x4s have been produced over the past 68 years as it became one of the most-loved and long-lived road vehicles. See PA story TRANSPORT Defender.

After 67 years of production, the Land Rover Defender has been officially discontinued from production. More than two million cars have been made since the original Land Rover Series began production in Solihull in 1948.

Strict measures for new car emissions has enforced “conditions the Defender just won’t meet,” the company said.

The company also said that parts will continue to be manufactured for 15 years and a new model to replace the Defender is planned but not revealed yet.

All 700 employees who worked on the Defender were invited to a farewell to the iconic model.

It’s truly sad to see this car go a way….
