Thread: Land Rover just can't let the old Defender die..

As long as the 0-60 time is in the sub 6 sec range ... its guaranteed to sell well.

It's like they had 25 left over in the back shed that everyone had forgotten about and wanted to do a cool build to sell them.

Powered by a 5.0 litre petrol V8 engine and eight-speed ZF automatic transmission, Classic Defender Works V8 Trophy II delivers 405Ps and 515Nm of torque. Gloss Black 18-inch Sawtooth alloy wheels are complemented with upgraded brakes, suspension, and handling kit for additional driving confidence.

According to a post on Defender2 it starts at £225,000. That's AUD386,572.

Hopefully the front axle does not have dodgy suspect welding

I recon they are trying to make the most out of the old school LR's that many remember.

So these are secondhand vehicles that are re-built/re-manufactured ?

I suppose they cannot be "new" otherwise they would have to meet all of today's safety standards. A remanufactured/refurbished vehicle just have to meet the regulations that were in existence when it was originally made.

I'm pretty sure that's what they're saying.
