I hear that the last Land-Rover "Defender" will leave the production line today.

Yet another British icon bites the dust. frown

I wonder what the army, police, Mountain Rescue et al will be buying from now on?

No doubt the army will still have plenty of Landys, even in twenty years time; all shiny and nicely lined up (just don't ask whether they are actually road-worthy)! I always liked the "Half Ton" (aka the Lightweight, or even the Airportable) myself - although production of those ended back in 1984.
