Whilst unsurprisingly nobody showed enough interest in working from a crappy Noel Edmonds designed ‘mobile office’ Range Rover for it to reach its lower reserve at auction last month, another automotive workspace is headed to auction early next month.

Handmade by Jaguar Land Rover and presented in the 2020 Defender’s launch colour, Pangea green, the desk to be sold features genuine parts and has European power and USB sockets integrated into it. In addition, there are functional front and rear lights and also included is a fully adjustable, trimmed leather chair.

Given so many are now working from home, here is a desk that will certainly get its purchaser noticed as they partake in Zoom calls with colleagues. The price? It’s certainly punchy and Bonhams will attempt to sell the 2020 Defender desk and chair at the Bicester Heritage sale on the 11th December.
