At Land Rover, you can buy a ‘classic’ Defender again
Build your own dream-Defender
Land Rover is doing it again: they are giving their old glory, the Classic Defender, a second life.
The British brand has more often polished up older Defenders for die-hard fans who prefer the old charm to its modern sibling.
But this time, the customer has the final say.
With Land Rover Classic’s Works Bespoke service, customers can decide for themselves what their dream Defender will look like.
A modern classic
Based on Defenders from 2012-2016, the Classic Defender V8 by Works Bespoke is completely restored and improved without losing its authentic charm.
Each one is renewed from head to toe, from the frame to the paint.
Under the hood will be a new, roaring 5.0-liter V8 engine, good for 405 horsepower.
The suspension also goes through a major overhaul, with new springs, dampers and brakes.
Customer is king
The Defender can be customized in every detail, from floodlights on the roof or an LED light bar, to a roof rack or winch for added functionality.
There are different colors and wheels, and both the compact Defender 90 or the longer 110 are available for a makeover.
Each car is hand-built by the experts at Land Rover Classic.
Interior
The interior of the Classic Defender V8 combines luxury with comfort.
With leather upholstery, modern gadgets and an infotainment system equipped with navigation and Bluetooth, the classic Defender is pulled into the present.
Colors of the dashboard, seats and side panels are fully customizable, and there is a choice of sporty Recaro seats or comfortable Premium seats.
Pricing starts at £190,000 (about 226,000 euros) for the Defender 90.
No bargain then, but you do get a unique and customized classic in return.
