Editing Land Rover Defender (section)

===L315 model===
In recognition of a number of changes the Defender is designated as L315 Land Rover from model year 1987 to 2006.  This period saw Land Rover market the utility Land Rover as a private recreational vehicle. While the basic pick-up, [[Sport utility vehicle|4x4]] and van versions were still working vehicles, the County 4x4s were sold as multi-purpose family vehicles, featuring improved interior trim and more comfortable seats. This change was reflected in Land Rover starting what had long been common practice in the car industry: detail changes and improvements to the County model from year to year in order to attract new buyers and to encourage existing owners to trade in for a new vehicle. These changes included different exterior styling graphics and colour options, and the introduction of new options such as radio-cassette players, air-conditioning, Rostyle wheels, headlamp wash and wipe systems, as well as accessories such as [[surfboard]] carriers and [[bicycle|bike]] racks.
