Classic Defender V8

The Classic Defender V8 returns with more attitude than ever. Rebuilt by Land Rover Classic to Works Bespoke specification, each vehicle starts as a carefully ed 2012 to 2016 donor and is then stripped down, restored and upgraded into a modernized version of the legendary off roader. The result is a classic silhouette with fresh power, refined comfort and custom styling inspired by the latest Defender Octa.

Buyers can now choose the same standout colors once reserved for the Octa, including Petra Copper, Faroe Green, Sargasso Blue, Narvik Black and Patagonia White. Each build spends around three hundred hours in the paint shop, receiving either a deep gloss finish or a satin sheen that mirrors the Octa protective film. Inside, the updates continue with Ultrafabrics in Khaki Green, Light Cloud or Lunar, paired with Burnt Sienna or Ebony leather for a clean and contemporary feel.

The transformation goes far beyond looks. Under the hood sits a five liter V8 with four hundred horsepower, paired with a smooth eight speed ZF automatic transmission. Updated suspension components, revised steering and stronger brakes give the Classic Defender a far more confident feel on the road without losing its rugged character.

From lighting upgrades to wheel choices and interior refinements, almost every detail can be personalized. Prices start at one hundred ninety thousand pounds, and while that makes the Classic Defender V8 a serious investment, it is also one of the most compelling ways to own a piece of Land Rover history with modern performance baked in.
