Land Rover will auction their two-millionth Defender for charity during an exhibition from 15-16 December to celebrate 67 years of the iconic off-roader’s UK production.

The bespoke Defender comes freshly assembled from the historic Solihull factory by 33 brand ambassadors and enthusiasts, including Bear Grylls and Theo Paphitis.

The Land Rover Defender 2,000,000 features many unique touches including a map of Red Wharf Bay engraved into the aluminum fender, the place where the original Defender’s design was first drawn in the sand. The body is painted in Indus Silver satin paint with black wheel arches, roof, door hinges, grille, mirror caps and a set of Santorini Black wheels.

The cabin features a bespoke aluminum plaque sitting on the driver’s seat plinth, signed by everyone who helped to assemble the vehicle while high-end leather and machined aluminum touches can be found everywhere inside, including the fascia, steering wheel, gear knob and transfer knob, hand brake and door casings.

All the proceeds will be donated to the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies and the Born Free Foundation, with the auction held by Bonhams.

The exhibition includes a “hall of fame” where Land Rover showcases the Defender’s career next to Hollywood icons, the Queen and Sir Winston Churchill, illustrating the journey of an icon throughout the globe.
