The Appeal
While Land Rovers are regarded as some of the most capable vehicles to ever grace our roads, one thing they’re not exactly well-known for is speed. That’s where this one is a little different…
Significantly upgraded using high-performance parts from leading specialists, this 2012 Defender 90 is set up for “fast country road driving”. Its 2.2-litre TDCI has been heavily tuned and equipped with an uprated exhaust, while numerous modifications have been made throughout the vehicle to match the increased performance. It’s resplendent in a Bowler livery, complemented by an array of auxiliary driving lights, snorkel and a whole host of aftermarket trims. On the inside, we find Corbeau racing seats, sports controls and swathes of quilted leather.
The Land Rover is accompanied by a substantial collection of invoices which show where all the various upgrades come from. We’re informed that it drives very well and comes with an advisor-free MOT valid until December 2024.
