The Land Rover Defender
A 1985–2016 Defender, re-engineered for serious range, payload, and the kit a real Defender owner already has in mind.
The Defender, finally fit for purpose.
Roof rack on, awning out, four passengers in. Real range, not optimistic range.
Lunch stop, plug in, go again. The country trip becomes the whole point of the trip.
Run a fridge. Run tools. Run a campsite. The car becomes the generator.
Off-road from zero, in silence. The original capability, dialled up, with no lag.
All three wheelbases. All standard body styles. Single motor for the budget-conscious. Twin motor for full-fat AWD.
A rotary drive selector you'd recognise from any modern luxury SUV. Push down for sport. Different colour for each mode.
CV joint at the motor end. Double-cardan into the diff to handle the angle. Custom angles for Puma front axles.
High-voltage heater core, drop-in replacement. Same housing. Same look. Hot air almost immediately.
Bidirectional 240V output at the back of the car. Run a fridge. Run tools. Run a campsite. The Defender now does both.
A featured build
A 1986 County, dual cab. Bronze castings. Snow gum timber. Woven wool upholstery. A bespoke commission, built once.
