Land Rover has revealed a new special edition of its all-conquering Defender better equipped to tackle the hellscape of modern British roads. And maybe the odd mountain. Meet the 110 Trophy Edition.
It's a new trim that allows you to conquer the supermarket queue, rutted British highways and byways and maybe even the odd puddle and perhaps a mountain via knobbly tyres and either yellow or green paint.

Sorry, 'Sandglow Yellow', referencing 'Defenders used on international Trophy-style events', or 'Keswick Green' that apparently 'celebrates rural exploration in Defender's UK homeland'. The Lake District suddenly got a lot more fun.
Scared of getting either colour a bit scratched? You can option on some protective film, while standard-fit items include lots of 'Trophy' decals, gloss black 20s that look suspiciously like steelies (yay) on all-terrain tyres, wheelarch protection, a black front undershield and rear scuff plate.
There are illuminated tread plates. Leather seats. And a £4,995 'Accessory Pack' that adds even more Trophy to your Trophy. It includes a roof rack, a roof ladder, a side-mounted Carrier Of Things, and a couple of admittedly very cool bits: a raised air intake and mud flaps!
Prices start at £89,810 which includes the £5k accessory pack. Where you taking it?

Car insurance payouts to keep rising after hitting record £11.7bn last year
UK motor claims inflation is set remain elevated over the next year after total payouts hit a record high in 2024, according to EY analysis. However, the group still expects rates paid by customers to fall thanks to a competitive market backdrop, thereby putting further pressure on insurers' margins. EY analysts forecast the average cost of motor insurance claims to rise by around 6 per cent in 2025 and 2026, with damage inflation staying high and bodily injury inflation within the 3 to 5 per cent long-term range. Motor claims hit a record £11.7billion in 2024, according to the Association of British Insurers, with the average claim up 13 per cent year-on-year at £4,900. The predicted increase comes despite a 'significant decline' in the frequency of claims, EY said. It credited this to better car safety, lower speed limits, workplace behaviour changes, and even a reluctance among motorists to make claims as a result of greater insurance costs in the UK. EY expects motor insurers' margins to hit breakeven levels this year before slipping into an underwriting loss of around 107 per cent in 2026 as rates lag behind claims inflation. A combined operating ratio (CoR) exceeding 100 indicates that insurance companies are making an underwriting loss, while a ratio below that figure denotes a profit. The UK motor insurance industry had a CoR of 97 per cent in 2024, despite paying out a record £11.7billion in claims. This was still a considerable improvement on the 113 per cent recorded the previous year when soaring claims, labour and parts costs outpaced the growth in premiums. New business rates in the UK car insurance sector shrank by 14 per cent to £757 last year, according to the Confused/WTW Motor premium index. It noted that the rates of decline had slowed from 7 per cent in the first quarter to 2.6 per cent in the following three months. WTW suggested this could be the result of greater consolidation in the UK motor insurance market. Aviva is likely to finalise the £3.7billion takeover of Direct Line Group, which is home to Churchill Insurance and vehicle recovery provider Green Flag, in July following approval from the UK's Competition and Markets Authority. Belgian insurer Ageas also agreed in April to acquire Esure from private equity giant Bain Capital in a £1.4billion deal that will create Britain's third-largest home and motor insurer.
