Sixty examples of the adventure-ready Defender 110 Trophy Edition confirmed for South Africa
The new Defender 110 Trophy Edition celebrates the brand's return to international adventure challenge events, offering a meticulously curated range of expedition accessories that transform the already capable Defender into the perfect companion for every challenging journey.
The new model introduces two heritage-inspired colours that will ignite the spirit of adventure for a new generation of enthusiasts. Available exclusively in either Deep Sandglow Yellow or Keswick Green, the new Trophy Edition features a striking contrasting Gloss Black finish on the bonnet, lower bodyside, brake calipers, and rear recovery eyes.
Deep Sandglow Yellow is a modern interpretation of a colour synonymous with Defenders used on international Trophy-style events, while Keswick Green celebrates rural exploration in Defender’s UK homeland. Both colours can be finished with an optional Matte Protective Film which provides an added layer of protection to the bodywork, offering reassurance and enhanced durability for venturing off the beaten track.
The adventure-ready specification is further enhanced by new unique to Defender Trophy Edition gloss black 20-inch alloy wheels wearing rugged all-terrain tyres for reliable grip on all surfaces. Trophy decals on the bonnet and C-pillar graphic, along with Trophy rear badging, distinctly set the special edition model apart on the outside. Inside, Trophy illuminated tread plates reinforce its provenance, while Ebony Windsor Leather seats provide a blend of toughness and luxury. The exposed cross-car beam is finished in the same distinctive colour as the exterior and features unique laser-etched endcaps with Trophy branding.
For the ultimate off-road capability, the Trophy Edition comes standard with a selection of accessories that include a dark rear scuff plate, gloss black wheel arch protection and a black front undershield. Also included is an expedition roof rack providing additional stowage space for gear-laden journeys, while a black deployable roof ladder makes it easier to access objects stored overhead. A gloss black side-mounted gear carrier providing extra space for muddy, wet, or sandy items; front and rear classic mud flaps; and a raised air intake for dust filtration are also included1.
Priced at R 2,227,800, the Defender 110 Trophy Edition represents a unique opportunity for South African adventurers to own a piece of Defender history. Orders are open now at The New Defender Trophy Edition | Ready for Any Adventure
