RIP +1.

Sad indeed. I sure hope they get the replacement right. :roll:

In the meantime, I wonder if JLR will help us remember the Defender by fitting RR, RRS and LR4 with special accessories to deftly drip ice cold water down the back of the driver's next neck whenever precipitation is detected within 50 miles. :mrgreen:

Jaguar Land Rover (JLR) has said it will stop production of its Defender model in 2015 because it will not meet new European laws on fuel emissions.
Fuel emissions?
I don't think they're supposed to leak.
