Overview

  • The ten-car commission is built from 2012–2016 Defender donors and hand-crafted by Land Rover Classic’s Works Bespoke team in the UK.
  • Power comes from a 5.0-litre V8 producing around 400bhp paired with an eight-speed ZF automatic and upgraded suspension using Eibach springs and Bilstein dampers.
  • Buyers can choose a 90 hard-top or soft-top or a 110 Station Wagon, with UK pricing including VAT from £279,000 to £295,200 and the 90 soft-top listed at £291,000.
  • Design cues echo Churchill’s UKE 80 Series I with Bronze Green paint, 16-inch steel wheels, a metal mesh grille, a galvanised front bumper and UKE 80 wing decals.
  • Cabins feature Bridge of Weir Bottle Green leather and a unique clock design, with specifications informed by study of the original car at the Emil Frey Classics Museum.
