DEFENDERS OF LAND AND SEA


Land Rover joins the celebrations for the commissioning of the Royal Navy’s newest warship by announcing an affiliation with HMS Defender and supplying a Land Rover Defender for its use whilst on dry land.


The name provides an obvious link: HMS Defender is the navy’s fifth warship of its name, while today’s Land Rover Defender can trace its roots directly back to the original Land Rover of 1948. The two are also fine examples of British engineering, the former built at the Govan shipyard on the River Clyde in Scotland, and the latter at the Land Rover plant in Solihull. Both are designed and equipped to tackle tough, albeit very different, environments around the world.
