Land Rover is now offering customers a “fully restored” ‘classic’ Defender with a 5-litre V8 petrol engine for £190,000 plus tax.
Values of the classic-shape Defenders have sky-rocketed because the automobile was discontinued in 2016, but Land Rover’s Works Bespoke division is offering customers like-new examples with a performance twist.
Although based on the classic Defender, in either three-door ‘90’ or five-door ‘110’ forms, the Classic Defender V8 by Works Bespoke will house a V8 petrol engine under its bonnet.
Second V8-engined classic from Land Rover
It’s the second time Land Rover has launched a V8-powered classic Defender because the old-shape automobile was discontinued, having already created the Works V8 in 2018.
As with a brand new Land Rover, customers can specify their Classic Defender V8 by Works Bespoke using a web-based configurator tool, and the restoration will “reflect [the customer’s] personality,” however the cars can be existing ‘used’ Defenders, relatively than brand recent vehicles. As an alternative, they can be restored to as-new condition.
Land Rover provides the donor vehicle
Land Rover itself is sourcing the donor cars for the project, picking out examples produced between 2012 and 2016, then “re-engineering” the vehicles to supply the “longevity, strength and enduring quality” more akin to that of a brand new production automobile.
