Collectors will soon have a the once in a lifetime opportunity to bid on two of ultra-rare Land Rover Defenders being sold at the same car auction.

One of the last 'classic' Defenders ever made – the 110 Heritage Edition – that is currently owned by Rowan Atkinson will go under the hammer next month.

It is one of just 400 ever produced at the end of the iconic car's lifecycle almost a decade ago and is estimated to go for up to £80,000.

But that's not all. The same Iconic Auctioneers event will also include a No Time To Die Bond Edition 2021 Defender, which is predicted to sell for double the price of the Mr Bean actor's Land Rover.

(Rowan Atkinson asked Iconic Auctioneers to find him this 110 Defender back in 2017 to add to his private collection)

So, when the British brand called time on one of the world’s most iconic off-roaders - the Defender Series - after 67 years it was only natural to commemorate the occasion with a limited series.

Between 2015 and 2016 Land Rover built 400 Heritage Edition cars - the final Defender Celebration Series.

Then in 2021, Land Rover cemented its 007 status by making 300 limited 110 V8 Bond Defenders, only 10 of which were supplied to UK fans.

Having one of the last 400 Defenders ever made is something in itself, but having one loved and owned by the comic-acting genius and Land Rover enthusiast Rowan Atkinson, is the stuff of British history books.

Both cars are up for sale February 24 to 26 at Stoneleigh Park, Warwickshire.

Atkinson’s Heritage 110 has a guide price of £65,000 to £80,000 to match its celebrity provenance, while the James Bond 110 is expected to reach a Fleming-frenzied £155,000 to £175,000.
