LONDON, December 23, 2025 — Auction platform Collecting Cars has put the last produced Land Rover Defender Heritage Edition up for sale.
The Heritage Edition was created to commemorate the legacy of the HUE 166, the first Land Rover Series I produced in 1947, and symbolizes the final chapter of the traditional Defender.
Only 400 units were allocated in the UK, making it one of the most popular models with collectors around the world. In 2023, vehicles with the original mileage will sell for six-figure prices, highlighting the value of this historic model.
The vehicle up for auction is the Defender 90 Heritage Edition, featuring the iconic Grasmere Metallic Green color and Alaska White roof, and has driven only 4,597 miles since 2016.
The exterior maintains all the traditional elements of the special series. Heritage-style grille and headlight frame, body-color steel wheels, silver front bumper and black cap, transparent turn signals, and Indus silver door hinges.
Aluminum emblems and HUE 166 historical graphics on the front fender complete the design inspired by the past.
The interior combines classic sturdiness and sophistication. Perforated leather steering wheel, gear knob and handbrake cover, aluminum details on air vents and doors, historical logo and HUE 166 tag on Almond Resolve fabric seats. Practical elements such as rubber mats and padded boxes also enhance the functionality of the model.
On January 29, 2016, on the last day of official production of the Defender, it was confirmed that this vehicle left the factory as the last Heritage Edition.
With only one private owner since new, the car is in completely original condition and comes with full documentation, including full-text articles and reports.
Edward Lovett, founder of Collecting Cars, emphasized that Defender special editions continue to attract interest around the world because they capture the essence of the classic model in factory specifications.
According to him, “This vehicle, the last to come off the production line, is literally the ultimate Defender heritage and represents a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity on the market.”
Offered in the UK but available for bids internationally, this low-mileage, single-owner Defender 90 Heritage Edition will represent a rare opportunity for collectors seeking one of the most iconic modern Land Rovers.
The auction will run for 7 days, ending on December 30th. Collecting Cars It ends on the platform.
