A much-loved subtheme within the LEGO Icons series, admired especially by adult LEGO enthusiasts, is the brick-built vehicles. A new member joins this admired line with the much-anticipated reveal of the 10317 Land Rover Classic Defender 90 set. Set for release on 4th April 2023, this 18+ model pays tribute to Land Rover’s 75th anniversary.

Continuing the lineage of its predecessor, the 10304 Chevrolet Camaro Z28, the Land Rover set pays homage to the iconic 1983 version instead of modern iterations.

The original model’s somewhat angular design transitions seamlessly into the LEGO landscape, predominantly employing a sand-green colour scheme, with the exception of the roof and the accompanying vehicle accessories.

These accompaniments boast various elements designed for off-road expeditions, such as a fire extinguisher, jerry cans, a toolbox, a functional winch, mudguards, and traction plates. All these accessories can be artistically placed atop the Land Rover, housed within its detailed interior, or attached to the car, exuding a bona fide explorer’s vibe.

In alignment with previous 18+ LEGO car models, the Land Rover hosts numerous functional features facilitating the vehicle’s mobility. This includes functional steering, operational suspension, and an option of two brick-built engines to allow diverse designs for the £209.99 / $239.99 / €239.99 set. Furthermore, the vehicle’s doors and hood can be opened, granting access to various aspects of the 2,336 pieces that comprise this exquisite 18+ model.
