2001 Tomb Raider Land Rover Defender L316 90 TD5

Only 250 examples were built worldwide to celebrate the Defender’s starring role in the ‘Tomb Raider’ film. These limited edition cars were all finished in Bonatti Grey with extensive chequer-plate body cladding. A roof pack and support bar frame was also fitted, along with a row of spotlights, side protection runners, and Pewter Grey ‘boost’ alloy wheels. A unique Tomb Raider plaque was also present on the front wing.
It is powered by the 2. 5-litre Td5 diesel engine, producing around 122hp and 221lb-ft of torque, coupled to a five-speed manual transmission.

The decision was to just replace the rear section of the chassis to maintain this originality. The front of the chassis was industrial cleaned and then dinitrol 449 applied to the chassis, axles and suspension to protect it.

Items still to address, Few marks and dents as you would expect for this age of vehicle, that was going to be my next task to address. Drivers seat has a tear in it but fitted with leather defender covers. Headlining could do with a refresh.
