Performance upgrades include bespoke suspension, uprated brakes and distinctive 18-inch Sawtooth alloy wheels, ensuring the vehicle's dynamics match its enhanced powertrain.
Key features include:
* Air conditioning
* ABS, Electronic Traction Control (ETC) and Dynamic Stability Control (DSC)
* External roll cage
* Roof rails
* LED headlights
* Auxiliary driving lamps
* Integrated winch
* Central locking
* Electric front windows
* Heated Recaro front seats
* Aluminium door handles
The interior is extensively retrimmed with premium leather upholstery and enhanced with bespoke Recaro sports seats. A Jaguar Land Rover Classic infotainment system with Bluetooth connectivity and satellite navigation completes the cabin, combining modern convenience with classic Defender character.
For customers in continental Europe, every left-hand-drive Defender Works V8 is inspected and road-tested by the specialists at JLR Classic Deutschland in Essen. Following a comprehensive technical inspection and approval process, each vehicle is issued with German registration documentation and a one-day registration, ready for handover.
The result is a unique collector's vehicle, rebuilt by the original manufacturer and representing the ultimate expression of the classic Defender.
