A family of matching remastered Classic Defender V8s in four iconic bodystyles is the latest eye-catching commission created by Land Rover Classic, the official home of Classic Defender restoration and customisation. The quartet comprising 90 Station Wagon, 90 Soft Top, 110 Station Wagon, and newly introduced 110 Double Cab Pick-Up, is notable for its colour-changing Spectral Green paint finish that seamlessly transitions between green, purple and gold - depending on where the vehicles are viewed from and the light conditions.

Classic Defender V8 family, commissioned by a single client, displays the plethora of customisation possibilities at Land Rover Classic

Each car is finished in new Spectral Green with Icy White exterior detailing and semi-aniline Bridge of Weir Vanilla leather interior

110 Double Cab Pick-Up and 90 Hard Top bodystyles are now available for commissioning alongside 90 Station Wagon, 90 Soft Top and 110 Station Wagon

New options include integrated touchscreen infotainment, bringing wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto connectivity to Classic Defender V8

The Spectral Green finish extends to the diamond-turned 18-inch Sawtooth alloy wheels, exterior badging and central interior fascia panels too, with each vehicle spending close to 400 hours in Land Rover Classic’s in-house paint facility – from meticulous surface preparation to colour matching and final polish.

Inside, semi-aniline Bridge of Weir Vanilla leather upholstered seats and trim are complemented by contrast green stitching to match the exterior. Superwool® carpets are bound in Bridge of Weir leather with the floor mats featuring debossed Defender wordmark.

The single-client commission represents the near-infinite customisation possibilities that Land Rover Classic offers clients via its Works Bespoke service, including the option to specify a colour inspired from any source, including personal items, natural landscapes or other vehicles in their collection.

Instantly recognisable and long admired by Defender enthusiasts, the 110 Double Cab Pick-Up body style is now available for Classic Defender V8 commissions, blending the versatility of a four‑door, five-seat, pick‑up with the unmistakable character of Land Rover’s most enduring design.

The compact and practical two-seat 90 Hard Top body style is also now available, alongside existing 90 Station Wagon, 90 Soft Top and 110 Station Wagon body styles.

A new specially developed 9-inch touchscreen infotainment option brings wireless connectivity to Classic Defender. Integrated perfectly within a custom fascia, the system features Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™, plus DAB/DAB+ Digital Radio, Bluetooth®, and 13-band graphic equaliser. An optional reversing camera is located discreetly within the rear bumper or optional step and includes a camera lens washer.

An expanded palette of paint colours for the roof and 16-inch heavy-duty Wolf wheel options now includes Fuji White and Corris Grey, while a Trophy Pack featuring Narvik Black Gloss bonnet, roof, rear door assembly and wheel arches is also added, offering further scope to contrast with the body colour.
