It is now powered by a 3.5-litre Rover V8, driving all four wheels via a five-speed manual transmission. The Land Rover was the subject of a full respray, an interior retrim, a mechanical refresh, and the fitment of many premium components in 2021. Over 25,000 worth of invoices from specialist Retro Automotive accompany the vehicle. finished in the Defender Heritage-inspired colour combination of Atlantic Green with a white roof and a removable khaki canvass rear roof, over a light tan extended leather interior, complemented by iroko wood accents and oatmeal door card inserts, headlining and armrest. It rides on 16-inch body-coloured steel wheels, fitted with Insa Turbo Dakar front tyres and Continental Cross Contact rears.
