This Defender MagBook is a celebration of the most instantly recognizable vehicle on the planet earth. A vehicle that I am convinced caused my wife to fall in love with me, given it was my daily during our courting phase. I do not think it has ever won a design award, yet it deserves one. The basic Defender shape has not changed in 50 years, yet it is still iconic. It is timeless, classless and functional. It is a car that moves, frustrates and brings joy to people.

When I first started this MagBook I was going to title the lead feature: Au revoir, Defender. Despite the fact that the production of the Defender as we know it will end in December 2015, this is definitely not the end of the Defender.
