The Appeal
“Make the best, better”.
That’s the mission statement of the well-known Land Rover Defender resto-modder Twisted Automotive. The Yorkshire-based firm offers a wide range of services from custom steering wheels to full bespoke builds to customers’ specifications. This 2012 Defender falls somewhere in the middle; it’s a lovely low-mileage example of a late 90 with several upgraded parts from Twisted.
Equipped with a canvas tilt, which allows it to be transferred into a full convertible, this is a particularly usable example. The numerous Twisted upgrades make it far more refined than a standard Defender without compromising any of its utilitarian charm; on the contrary, they enhance it.
Offered with a long advisory-free MOT and presenting very well throughout, this Land Rover is ready for its next adventure.
