Built to Be Driven
Power comes from Land Rover's legendary 2.5-litre Turbo Diesel engine, paired with a five-speed manual gearbox and locking differential. The driving experience remains authentic while benefiting from a clutch-assist system that significantly reduces pedal effort, making the vehicle enjoyable for drivers of all experience levels.

This Nardo Gray Defender 90 delivers the unmistakable character that has made the Defender one of the world's most celebrated utility vehicles.

Crafted by Hand
The interior has been completely reimagined using Scottish tartan wool and traditional English waxed canvas, creating a cabin that feels both rugged and refined. Custom upholstery, matching door cards, dashboard trim, floor coverings, and cargo-area finishes provide a level of craftsmanship rarely found in restored Defenders.

Seven-seater; A custom front center seat preserves the classic three-across seating configuration, while rear bench seating accommodates additional passengers for family adventures and weekend escapes. [New belts throughout. ]
