An icon for over 68 years, production of Land Rover's Defender ceased in January 2016 with more than two million models made since the original Series 1 arrived in 1948. The Adventure was produced as one of three run-out special editions to say goodbye to this quintessentially British off-roader. Of the three limited editions (the Adventure, the Heritage and the Autobiography) the Adventure was aimed at customers who relish the great outdoors and embraced the Defenders' go anywhere, do anything attitude. It was fitted with additional underbody protection and chunky-treaded BF Goodrich tyres to boost the Defender's already class-leading all-terrain capability along with a roof rack and snorkel. All 90 SW variants featured a power upgrade from 120 bhp to 148 bhp and production was limited to 600 in the UK.

Some of the Adventure's other unique features include the seven-inch LED Projector Headlamps and gloss black split-spoke alloys. The interior is equally special with premium seats clothed in Windsor leather, perforated leather inserts with contrast stitching, a leather-trimmed gear knob and handbrake lever and bespoke bright aluminium interior trim. High-quality Windsor leather also features on the passenger fascia and instrument panel and Ebony headlining and tailored carpet mats complete the look.

Offered here in Corris Grey with an Ebony/Pimento interior is a Defender 90 Adventure TD, one of those final 600. It's powered by the traditional 2,198cc four-cylinder diesel engine, with a six-speed manual gearbox and naturally, four-wheel drive. 148bhp at 3,500rpm/295lb ft at 2,000rpm may not be landmark numbers but, realistically, this car is more about style. It was supplied new by Ripon Land Rover to our vendor in February 2016 making it only one owner and, having covered just 490 miles, is about as near to new as you could hope for.

Equally at home in town as it is in the country, this timeless design may just endure a little longer than its successor, and fully-optioned, farewell models will almost certainly continue to attract interest in the market.
