Rarely does the death of a car cause a period of national mourning. But not every car is a Land Rover Defender, which has been a stoic servant of our nation for 67 years. That was, until early this morning, when the very last one rolled down the production line at Lode Lane, making it the 2,016,933rd and final Defender. To mark the occasion, the conveyor belt was slowed to a stately pace while hundreds of guests including TG.com helpfully crowded around the workers still popping in the last rivets.
