Description
To celebrate Land Rover's 70th anniversary, the WORKS V8 project was launched in 2017. This project involved taking the last built and registered Land Rover Defender and upgrading it significantly. CLASSIC WORKS UK meticulously dismantled each of the 150 limited edition vehicles and installed a powerful 5. 0-litre V8 petrol engine with 403 hp from the current Land Rover, paired with an 8-speed automatic transmission from ZF.
The brakes, suspension, and 18-inch LM wheels in Saw Tooth design were upgraded to handle the increased performance.
The features include air conditioning, ABS with ETC & DSC (a rare option on the last Defender Classic), central locking, electric windows, heated front seats, and aluminium door handles.
The exterior was painted in one of five selectable colours, with this particular vehicle in Indus Silver and a contrasting black roof. The interior was upgraded to a luxurious leather finish in Ebony. Recaro sports seats and the Jaguar Land Rover Classic audio system with Bluetooth and navigation were also added.
The result is an automotive masterpiece.
All 150 vehicles sold out quickly after the announcement.
Each left-hand drive WORKS V8 sold in Europe was handled by our subsidiary of JLR UK. They were re-inspected, test-driven, and, with the help of the TÜV, issued new vehicle documents after a full inspection.
The vehicle displayed here was originally registered to a buyer in Portugal. Additionally, the number of WORKS V8s built on the 90 wheelbase is particularly rare.
