We’ve said it before, and we’ll say it again—there’s nothing like the styling of a Vintage SUV. While we’d happily shell out cash to own one of our many favorites, there’s just something about a Land Rover Defender that always puts it at the top of the list. Sure, we know they’re not great on the road or at speed, but the desire remains. For a few short years in the 90s, there were North America Spec (NAS) Defenders available for purchase. While most of them have gone the way of the dodo, Goodings & Co. managed to get their hands on one from 1997 and will be auctioning it off later this month. This isn’t any Land Rover Defender, either. This is 300/300, aka the very last one of its kind produced for the North American Market. It’s an absolute beaut with only 36,000 original miles if you have a couple hundred grand to spend. The final Land Rover Defender will be available during the Gooding & Co. Scottsdale Auctions on January 17th and 18th.
