Mat...
You have got a 50th.... but not the V8 one that everyone associates the 50th Anniversary models with.
There are two types of 50th Anniversary Defenders:
1: The Atlantic Blue 4.0L V8 Auto CSW (county station wagons)
These have a external (at the front)/internal (at the rear) roll cage and were the first UK Defenders not to have a bulkhead behind the front seat.
They also had numerous other upgrades, including uprated suspension etc etc.
They were also the last V8 Defenders built by Land Rover. (V8's were a special build option up until about 1995, then they were dropped) - this is the short specification list.
2: The other type of 50th Anniversary models are very rare, and thus don't crop up that often.
They were based on manual 300Tdi County Hardtop 90's (not CSW) and came in a limited range of colours (burgundy, Atlantic blue - I think, and a more blue/green AFAIK - will try and find out though) – all with a body coloured roof.
They also came with the same wheels and tyres as the V8 model (dark grey centred freestyle alloys and BFGoodrich All Terrain tyres).
And they had turned Aluminium gear and transfer knobs.... and a splattering of aluminium chequer plate. And a NAS type rear tow hitch/step (but the UK version)
I think they also featured a CNC machined Land Rover oval badge at the back (reproduction of the original cast Land Rover ovals)
They didn't have the V8 roll cage either...
There are a few other features too, but not sure of the exact spec off the top of my head.
If you PM your registration (or chassis number) I 'may' be able to find out a bit more in the way of spec…
Apart from the features above - alloys and trim bits etc - they aren't that far from standard 300Tdi County hardtops... however they are a bit different so worth looking after - just for the rarity value.
