Description
A beautifully reimagined 1986 Land Rover Defender Pick Up, professionally built by Turner’s Offroad and upgraded to a standard that perfectly blends classic utility with modern usability. Finished in a deep metallic red with contrasting black details, this Defender has an unmistakable presence and benefits from a huge amount of recent investment throughout. Sitting on upgraded 20-inch SMC alloy wheels with an aggressive stance, it delivers the iconic Defender look with a far more refined feel both inside and out. Powered by the legendary 4. 6 Rover V8 and complemented by a custom exhaust system, this Defender delivers the unmistakable soundtrack and character that perfectly suits the vehicle’s rugged nature.
The exterior presents exceptionally well with straight bodywork, excellent paint finish and a purposeful yet understated appearance. The proportions of the short wheelbase pick up make this one of the most desirable Defender configurations, while subtle upgrades including side steps, upgraded lighting and black exterior accents modernise the look without losing the original character. The upgraded 20-inch SMC wheels perfectly complete the stance of the vehicle and give it a far more purposeful road presence.
Inside is where this Defender really stands apart. The cabin has been fully retrimmed in rich burgundy leather with bespoke hexagonal stitching throughout, including the upgraded sports seats and centre console. The contrast between the deep red interior and black trim gives the cabin a far more premium and contemporary feel than a standard Defender, while still retaining the rugged charm expected from the model. The seating position is excellent and the upgraded interior transforms the driving experience.
Under the bonnet sits the iconic 4. 6 Rover V8 with Edelbrock intake setup, providing effortless torque, strong performance and a fantastic V8 soundtrack through the custom exhaust system. The engine bay itself has been detailed to an excellent standard and presents as cleanly as the exterior of the vehicle. Paired with automatic transmission and four wheel drive capability, this Defender offers an effortless driving experience while retaining genuine usability both on and off road.
The underside of the vehicle is equally as impressive, showcasing the level of detail and investment throughout the build. Benefiting from upgraded suspension components including Bilstein dampers, the chassis and running gear present extremely well and further reinforce the quality of the restoration and engineering work carried out by Turner’s Offroad.
A Defender that has clearly been built with attention to detail rather than compromise, offering a unique specification and a huge amount of presence wherever it goes. From the bespoke upholstery through to the upgraded drivetrain, upgraded suspension and overall presentation, this is a vehicle that feels far removed from a standard utility Defender and instead offers something genuinely special.
A rare opportunity to acquire a highly upgraded classic Land Rover that combines old-school Defender character with modern comfort, V8 performance and show-quality presentation.
As with all classic and specialist vehicles, there may be some age related marks and imperfections consistent with use and age.
