The Classic Defender gets an overhaul and a fresh V8!
The evolution of modern and future vehicles is sparking a renewed interest in classic collector cars and SUVs, leading to a significant upshift in the market. This trend is also driving the demand for high-end resto-mods, where enthusiasts are opting for bespoke, ground-up builds. These meticulously crafted vehicles allow owners to preserve the timeless appeal of classic designs while incorporating key modern features and options, blending nostalgia with the performance and convenience of today’s standards. While there are countless options when sourcing a specialist to build your dream resto-mod, the team at Land Rover is proud to keep the solution to your 4×4 restoration in-house with its new Works Bespoke division.
Land Rover’s innovation shines through with its Works Bespoke program, a tailored service designed to preserve the legacy of classic models like the Classic Defender V8. This program allows future owners to customize every detail, ensuring that each build reflects their unique lifestyle and preferences. Whether it’s selecting a specific paint finish or opting for modern technical features, the Works Bespoke program offers a seamless blend of heritage and personalization, making each Defender as individual as its owner.
One standout feature of the Works Bespoke experience is Land Rover’s easy-to-use online configurator. From the comfort of home or office, customers can design their dream Classic Defender V8 (both 90 and 110 models) by choosing from a range of finishes, interior trims, and performance options. The user-friendly platform not only simplifies the customization process but also guarantees that every aspect of the vehicle meets the precise specifications of the future owner, making the journey to ownership as smooth and enjoyable as driving the vehicle itself.
Meticulous craftsmanship is at the heart of Land Rover’s Works Bespoke program. Every Defender V8 is built with careful attention to exterior styling, from bespoke paint jobs to custom wheels. Inside, the focus shifts to luxurious materials and thoughtful design elements that sweeten both comfort and functionality. Under the hood, Land Rover ensures that the engine and performance meet modern standards by fitting each chassis with a monstrous 5.0L V8 transplant.
