supacat, no I didn't mean that values will rise immediately but a result like that will help residuals in the long term. Not by much perhaps but it'll all go towards "awareness" and cache of the Defender. It won't do any harm, put it that way.

They don't have Dinitrol down under. But they often use boiled linseed oil....  You never actually own a Defender. You merely look after it for the next generation.

Personally, I'll be happy when all the final/limited edition/heritage fuss dies down and those only attracted by the cache of owning such a model have got bored and moved on to the latest must have item. Hopefully, their motor will go to a more discerning owner who likes it for what it is intrinsically is. I don't think of my defender having residuals, in the same way that my dog doesn't either. Back on Topic - a very good result for some nice charities  , especially to the continental underbidder - did the auctioneer name check him at the end - Axel? |

Hmm, I'm guessing that you've never bought a new car then......

Just got back. It was more of a party than an auction…!
Everyone was plied with lots of champagne & canapés and we saw a good sprinkling of familiar faces such as Theo Paphitus, Richard Hammond, Joanna Lumley, Virginia McKenna, Nick Wilks, Tim Slessor, Afzal Khan …in fact I even saw Matt & Mitch from FCX  Nice to meet you guys ..!

Although I personally thought it wasn't worth more than £165k, the final price of £400k actually seemed a bit low for all the effort (seriously they must've spent far more on the publicity and hosting the event!) The auctioneer had to squeeze the bidders for every last drop.

Outside was a bit of an eye opener with several Celebration Defenders parked in New Bond Street and at the back entrance no less than 20 Range Rovers including this special one.

Great report! Thanks!
A neat bit of Defender 'history' to have been a part of. Agreed... the sale price seemed a bit 'low' given the hype/advertising etc... All to a good cause though... and it's at least coming to a sunny, dry, rust free country!!! YOLO... You Only Live Once... |

Strewth... I have been sprung like a dingo with a foot in a schooner of 4X! Yes... the medical was to confirm I was of insane mind and body so my bid would be rejected... Fair dinkum, the quack was stuffing another 4n20 in his gob before I could say 'rack off'!  YOLO... You Only Live Once... |
