A Defender redefined by renowned Land Rover customisers Overfinch, specially commissioned for the 2019 Monaco Yacht Show.

Finished in the stunning colour combination of Emerald Green exterior paint with a contrasting silver bonnet and front grille over tan Bridge of Weir premium leather Recaro seats with contrast micro piping and stitching in green. Many redesign features are included from Overfinch, such as the front bumper with LED daytime running lights, KBX side vent upgrade, Nolan headlights, aluminium door handle set, aluminium fuel cap, rear LED light upgrade pack, rear bumper step, teak load-space decking with drawer compartment, roll cage, bespoke SVX tonneau cover, bespoke electric wing mirrors, Overfinch 18” Apollo wheels in Emerald Green finish with diamond turned face, Overfinch pedal set, Overfinch knurled bright work pack, Alpine double din satellite navigation unit, Overfinch sports instrument dials and carpet mats (Ebony with Green Pipe).

But the excitement sits underneath, with the standard 2198cc diesel engine replaced with a 6162cc Corvette LS3 V8 petrol engine that produces a whopping 450bhp! To handle its extra power the brakes have been uprated to 6 piston brakes at the front (as apposed to the standard 4) and 4 piston brakes to the rear (as opposed to the standard 2). The engine is coupled to a six-speed automatic gearbox and a stainless-steel sports exhaust system is fitted to amplify the V8 burble, the result is euphonious.

Defenders are a car we’re very fond of and have sold all variants including other redefined, tuned examples. However, nothing comes close to the quality or the performance of this Overfinch.
