As a tribute to the first Land Rover, the HUE 166 license plate was used more than 68 years later in 2015 for the production of the very last Land Rover Defender, the Heritage series. Only 2,400 of this car were produced worldwide, divided into the 110 (long version) and the 90 (short version). The latter is closest to the original because of the 90 inch wheelbase used and therefore has a high status among enthusiasts in the Land Rover hierarchy, in fact, it is approached as the Holy Grail within the Land Rover collection.
