Himalaya Defender

Although we absolutely love the new Land Rover Defender, we cannot forget the original 1983–2016 Defender, which remains a highly-collectible design icon. The Land Rover Defender 110 has a humble origin, a truck designed to serve as a go-anywhere vehicle to meet the demands of farmers and explorers alike. While the Land Rover Defenders classic design and ability has withstood the test of time, today´s drivers expect more... This is where Himalaya comes into play, they seamlessly integrate modern touches that enhance drivability, reliability and performance to todays standards, while being ultimately respectful of the history and the classic styling of the iconic 4x4. They make the ultimate Defender for the modern era, as you can see by the example below.

HIMALAYAs "Spectre" 110 Crew Cab Defender, is truly a classic reimagined. A defining statement is made when driving this matte gunmetal gray truck equipped 37" Toyo Open Country tires and 18" Sawtooth Alloy wheels in gloss black. With its custom made bed mount tire carrier and a 4" lift with Fox Performance Shocks and Extreme Currie Hi-Flex Suspension, the truck has an aggressive stance that, literally, looks down on everything on the road in front of it. Inside you will find custom Ruskin Leather Recaro seats and matching Puma dash, MOMO leather steering wheel, custom audio with Alpine HALO touchscreen and much more that give the driver the sought after feeling of a new luxury automobile.

Safari-style Porsche 911 builds have become incredibly popular in the past few years, we have featured several here before.

1968 Alfa Romeo GTV & 1967 Vespa

The pairing of this 1968 Alfa Romeo GTV 1750 with a 1967 Vespa 50N feels like a love letter to Italian motoring culture at its most honest and expressive. Offered together by a Berlin based dealer, this is not just a car and a scooter, but a carefully curated moment in time. The GTV began life as a German market example and has since undergone a meticulous multi year refurbishment completed in 2024. Finished in its factory correct Giallo Ocra over Nero Skai v...
