Land Rover Defender LE announced
A special new Limited Edition version of the Land Rover Defender goes on sale in March, offering two new exterior colours, new wheels and two unique interior colours.

The exterior of the Defender Limited Edition can be ordered in either Zermatt Silver or, as a first for the Defender, Nara Bronze. For both versions, the Defender's roof and wheel arches are finished in Santorini Black.

There are also new 16-inch Saw Tooth alloy wheels shod with MTR tyres, the combination designed to create what Land Rover describes as a "sense of raw utilitarianism."

Inside, two colours are available: Ebony for the Zermatt Silver exterior, or a duo-tone Ebony and Almond for the Nara Bronze exterior. The seats also gain leather side bolsters.

The Limited Edition package is available with the Defender 90 Station Wagon and the 110 Station Wagon, with the full range of options and accessories available for both.
