Just 500 of the special Defenders will be built for the 2023 model year, exclusively for North America, all of them based on the Defender 110 P300 S grade. Pricing is set at $76,350, including a $1,350 destination charge.
Known as the Defender 30th Anniversary Edition, the SUVs will be recognizable by their white exteriors in combination with black leather trim and 18-inch steel wheels with a retro design.

The list includes a roof rack, side steps, wheel arch extensions, a deployable ladder, mud flaps, and rubber mats. Of course, there are also modern additions like air suspension, LED headlights, and activity key. The latter is a waterproof wristband that you can use to access the vehicle while the actual key remains locked inside.
