Defender Collections

I have collated together groups of Defenders that are particularly notable or rare (such as special editions or those built for a one-off purpose) from the data contained within the DVLA/DVSA vehicle datasets. The statuses of each vehicle in the collections are updated monthly to determine how many are "on the road" and being used, versus how many have been exported, written off or faded into obscurity.
