The Land Rover Defender has been a legendary icon for over 70 years, with more than 2 million units produced throughout its history. Yet, when it comes to the Defender Works V8, only 150 units were ever made—a number that makes this rare collector's edition truly extraordinary. Exclusively reserved for the world’s most dedicated Land Rover clients and friends of the brand, this is a vehicle that’s virtually impossible to acquire directly from the factory. With a powerful 5.0-liter V8 engine delivering 403 horsepower, this Defender is a perfect blend of luxury, performance, and rugged capability. From its stunning leather interior to its upgraded suspension, every detail has been meticulously crafted for those who appreciate the very best. There’s no mistaking it—this is not just any Defender, it’s a masterpiece, and owning one of these 150 makes you part of an exclusive club. A true collector’s gem that will turn heads wherever it goes! 

This particular example, number 93 of just 150 ever built, is one of the most pristine Works V8 Defenders to exist. With only 2,900 kilometers from new, this Defender remains in as-new condition, a rarity for a vehicle designed to conquer the toughest environments. Even more exceptional, it has had just one owner from new, ensuring that it has been cared for with the utmost attention. The history of this car is as well-documented as it is remarkable. Factory-equipped with a naturally aspirated 5.0-liter V8, it delivers an astonishing 403 horsepower—an unimaginable figure for a classic Defender. Paired with a seamless eight-speed ZF automatic transmission, this Defender accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in just 5.6 seconds. The roar of the V8 is intoxicating, a deep and resonant soundtrack that perfectly complements the vehicle’s aggressive presence. This is not simply a Defender—it’s the most powerful and exhilarating iteration ever created. 

Finished in the striking Roma Red, this Defender remains in flawless condition, free of any imperfections. Its wide wheel arches house stunning diamond-turned Sawtooth alloy wheels, while bi-LED headlights and a contrasting black roof elevate its already commanding presence. Inside, the transformation is just as dramatic. The interior is wrapped in Lunar/Ebony leather, with beautifully stitched surfaces that exude craftsmanship. Recaro front seats provide exceptional comfort and support, ensuring that every journey—whether on rugged terrain or city streets—is undertaken in absolute refinement. Every element of this Defender speaks of quality, from the robust yet elegant dashboard to the tactile, leather-trimmed controls. 

To drive this Defender is to experience something truly special. The V8 engine delivers an effortless surge of power, while the upgraded suspension and braking system ensure confidence on any terrain. The handling remains true to its roots, with the characteristic high-riding stance and robust feel that made the Defender famous, but now with a level of refinement never before seen in this model. Whether navigating winding roads or venturing far off the beaten path, this Defender Works V8 is as exhilarating as it is capable. 

Included in the sale is a complete set of original documentation, from its Land Rover Classic Works conversion certificate to a fully stamped service booklet. Accompanying these are the original sales agreement, Belgian registration certificates, a spare key, and even a personalized Land Rover letter welcoming the owner to this exclusive club.
