The owner of this Land Rover came to us originally to convert a Beetle, but after driving our workshop electric Defender, couldn’t resist having one for himself instead. Originally a military vehicle, this car still odes to those days with numerous rare military features which were saved during its recent restoration. Fortunately, it no longer feels like a military vehicle though, with power steering, a new interior, a leather dash and of course a fully electric drivetrain. It’s more capable than ever off-road, can keep up with modern traffic on-road and no longer spews black smoke out of its rear-end!
