The last Defender….

Car news

 

After 68 years of being the 4X4 vehicle of choice for the Queen and Royal Family, featuring in Hollywood’s biggest blockbusters and transporting British troops during conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan, the last ever Land Rover Defender will roll off the Land Rover production line today.

What started in April 1948 as a continuation of the war-time jeep, would quickly become one of Land Rovers most popular models.

It’s tough, durable reputation made it the worlds most iconic off-road 4X4, being revered by motor enthusiast across the globe.

Described as a ‘classless vehicle’, the Defender has appealed to everyone from farmers, the British army and royalty, with its ability to wade through boggy fields, floods and desert sand.

Showing up in the opening sequence of the 2012 Bond film ‘Skyfall’, Tom Cruise movie ‘Edge of Tomorrow’ and Angelina Jolie’s ‘Lara Croft: Tomb Raider’, the Land Rover Defender has been deeply respected and valued for its ability to make movie action sequences as thrilling and spectacular as possible.

As the last edition of the 4X4 rolls off the production line at Land Rover’s plant in Solihull, a spokesman for the company has confirmed that they are working on a replacement vehicle for the Defender but it will be tough to match up to the status of the original Land Rover Defender.

Make sure you lease your piece of history before they all run out for good! Call CVSL on 0800 085 4256 or visit www.cvsl.co.uk for all the latest deals.

Could leasing be right for your family?

Car Leasing, Motoring Advice

Leasing and contract hire are not just for businesses. Personal lease has been in demand this year.  For families, leasing a car is an option that is often overlooked, but there actually many benefits:

Safety
When you are driving your children from school to football and back home you will value the importance of having a car that is safe to drive and will protect your children in the case of an accident. Newer cars are a lot safer as safety regulations are stricter and materials used in the car are a lot stronger. Car manufacturers spend millions of pounds on improving car safety.

More efficient
New cars are all about more efficient driving and being better for the environment. This will result in you filling up less and saving money on petrol costs. That’s not the only saving you will make – new car have lower emissions which means that you will pay less road tax. You will also be helping the planet with cleaner air.

More space
In recent years cars have become more spacious, and especially as a parent you know how much stuff you need to take if you are going somewhere.  If your children are growing up they will also  be grateful of the extra leg and elbow room.

Fixed prices
When you own a car you sometimes end up with unplanned outgoings such as expensive car repairs. With car leasing you can prevent this as you are paying a fixed amount and you can even include maintenance costs in your lease agreement.  Knowing your outgoings each month will help planning your finances.
