Key Points: GreenWood Automotive Upgrades, Upgraded Alcon Brakes, Mohair Fabric Roof

The Land Rover Defender is an iconic classic 4x4, developed from the original Land Rover series. A British equivalent of the Second World War-derived Willys Jeep, it gained a global reputation for durability, due to its steel ladder chassis, aluminium alloy bodywork and detuned Rover engine. It incorporated significant changes compared to the traditional series Land Rovers, such as adopting coil springs front and rear, as well as a locking centre differential.

Production of the model began in 1983 as the Land Rover 110, a name which reflected the 110-inch wheelbase. The Land Rover 90, with 93-inch wheelbase, and Land Rover 127, with 127-inch wheelbase, soon followed. Major revisions came in 1990, 1998 and 2007, and in August 2011, Land Rover announced the final update for the Defender, prior to the introduction of the DC100 concept and subsequent L663-generation.

This Defender 90 had been fitted with some well-chosen updates by Greenwood Automotive, including a 2.2 TDCi exhaust and remap. Now finished in Tamar Blue with a Mohair fabric roof, it has progressive suspension and rides on Gloss Black 18-inch EVO Corse DakarSuperZero alloy wheels, framing an Alcon front brake upgrade with red-painted callipers.

On the exterior, new features include LED headlights and a stainless steel bumper with LED driving lights, while the cabin has been updated with Recaro bucket seats, a Blaupunkt head unit, Audison speakers, a Momo steering wheel, a Bowler gear lever and rear bench seat.
