Land Rover Classic Presents The Classic Defender Works V8 Trophy II

Land Rover Classic has launched 25 exclusive expedition inspired Classic Defender Works V8 Trophy II vehicles, created using Defender models from 2012 to 2016.

Beautifully, each vehicle has a unique camouflage representing 23 locations the legendary 4x4 has tackled over 70 years of adventuring history.

Said design also features a number of hidden Land Rovers and their iconic shape in silhouette for owners to identify.

The Classic Works V8 Trophy II is available in 90 and 110 Station Wagon bodies, as well as a 110 Double Cab Pick-Up for the first time on a Trophy model. 

In the production run of 25, Land Rover Classic is offering only five Double Cab Pick-Ups, with the remaining 20 vehicles split between the aforementioned body styles equally.

Exterior-wise, the overall design features a distinctive black and white theme, with the unique 23 location-inspired camouflage covering every inch of the body. 

As for the base, the body is finished in Fuji White with a contrasting Narvik Black roof and Gloss Black exterior elements, down to minute details including rivets, screws and vents. 

To complement the theme, the Classic Works V8 Trophy II is fitted with a set of Gloss Black 18-inch Sawtooth alloy wheels.

Then, a range of exterior enhancements ensures unstoppable all-terrain performance. At the front, a protective A-frame houses a winch ahead of a bespoke front grille. 

Whereas, its black bonnet features a satin finish to reduce glare in bright conditions, while a full-width 1.27-meter LED light bar provides full visibility in all-terrain conditions at night.

Plus, it has a 500 mm wading depth, a rear recovery point and is finished with rock sliders and an external roll bar for added body protection.

Elsewhere, a rear ladder provides access to the expedition roof rack, while subtle detailing includes Land Rover Trophy badging and white logo detail on the mudflaps.

Interior-wise, it comes with Recaro sports seats finished in high-quality black and white Windsor leather with contrast stitching. The leather trim extends to the dashboard, doors and headlining.

It also has Land Rover Classic’s modern Infotainment System with integrated navigation and mobile device connectivity, and Land Rover’s ergonomic pistol shifter for the ZF automatic gearbox.

Last but not least, the centerpiece of the dashboard features a bespoke Land Rover Trophy clock face by Elliot Brown, with a unique face mirroring the exterior camouflage design.

Performance-wise, the limited edition is powered by Land Rover’s 5.0-litre V8 petrol mill paired to an eight-speed ZF automatic transmission. It produces 405 PS (399 HP) and 515 Nm of torque. 

Other than that, each model has undergone a comprehensive rebuild with uprated suspension, brakes and steering enhancements. 

Outstandingly, these creations were stripped and rebuilt by hand to exacting standards and improved high specifications, developed exclusively by the team at Land Rover Classic.

That said, the 90, 110 and 110 Double Cab derivatives are now available to purchase directly from Land Rover Classic, with prices starting from GBP 225,000 (RM 1,219,856) for a 90 in the UK.
