As with every Classic Defender V8 the four commissioned Defenders are based on an original model built from 2012 to 2016 – the last period of classic Defender production. Each one comes with a five-litre V8 putting out 399bhp and 515Nm of torque, at least enough for a 0-62mph time of 6.1 seconds in the 110 model.
Dominic Elms, Director, Land Rover Classic, said of the new cars: “This spectacular Works Bespoke commission demonstrates the breadth of Land Rover Classic’s customisation capabilities – the result of a collaborative creative process that engages our clients with our in-house design, engineering and craftspeople to bring their vision to life.”
The price for the four bespoke Defenders hasn’t been revealed, but with the Classic Defender 110 we tested last year costing over £250,000, it’s possible the four-strong commission could’ve nudged the million-pound mark.
Along with these eye-catching Defenders and the introduction of a double-cab and 90 hard-top to its customisation programme, Land Rover Classic has also developed a new nine-inch touchscreen for its icon – bringing wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. There’s also now an option for customers to add a DAB radio, graphic equaliser and reversing camera, too.
Looking for a current-generation Defender? We have a selection of 90, 110 and 130 bodystyles for you to choose from on the Auto Express Buy A Car service with prices kicking off from £30,000.
