About Black Square Cars

Black Square Cars is a Land Rover Defender enthusiast page on Instagram, created by Tom Watkins. Built around a genuine love of Defenders — both classic and new — the page celebrates everything from full-scale ownership and the culture around these iconic vehicles, to the world of 1:18 scale model collecting.

What started as a way to share a passion for Defenders has grown into one of the go-to pages for Land Rover content, generating hundreds of thousands of views and tens of thousands of likes every month.

A key pillar of the page is Tom's 1:18 scale Defender model collection, which has been growing since 2009 and is now near-complete across all major brands, worth several thousand pounds. It's this collection, and the expertise behind it, that has attracted hundreds of followers looking for guidance on how to start building collections of their own.

Black Square Cars exists to help people share in the appreciation of Land Rover Defenders at every scale — and for those looking to start collecting, to make smarter buying decisions and see the value that comes from owning the right pieces and caring for them the right way.
