Today marks the end of production of the Land Rover Defender. We are celebrating 67 years of the countryside icon with the best photos of the Defender on shoots.
Used on shoots to carry Guns between drives, store the shot game and provide shelter to dogs and Guns alike when things get a little too muddy – the Defender is an important part of any shoot day.
Here are our favourite photos of the Land Rover Defender.
