Specifications

This Defender 110 Double Cab County has been thoughtfully reimagined as a refined yet purposeful utility vehicle - blending traditional rural character with elevated British craftsmanship and serious modern performance.

Finished in Tamar “Farmer” Blue with a contrasting white roof and white steel wheels, this build pays homage to the classic County-era Defenders of the 1990s. The addition of the iconic County side stripe further reinforces its period-correct identity, while a khaki canvas rear canopy adds a utilitarian edge perfectly suited to the double cab silhouette.

Beneath its heritage-inspired appearance lies a very different character. This example is powered by a Chevrolet LS3 V8, delivering effortless torque and a commanding soundtrack that transforms the Defender’s driving experience. What appears classic and agricultural at first glance is, in reality, something far more capable and exhilarating.

Exterior & Bodywork

The exterior specification strikes a careful balance between authenticity and subtle enhancement.

• Tamar “Farmer” Blue paintwork

• White roof with classic County side graphics

• Custom-made white steel wheels designed to accommodate wider tyres

• Wider road-focused tyres for improved road holding and stance

• Khaki canvas rear canopy

The bespoke steel wheels retain the honest charm of the original Land Rover hub design while allowing for a broader footprint. The result is a more planted, muscular presence without compromising its heritage aesthetic. It remains unmistakably County in spirit, just more purposeful in execution.

Performance & Engineering

At its heart sits the Chevrolet LS3 V8 — a significant evolution from the Defender’s traditional powerplants. Paired to a modern drivetrain setup, it delivers strong, effortless performance that feels entirely at ease in contemporary traffic while retaining the mechanical theatre expected of a V8-powered build.

The additional power is matched by the wider tyre setup, improving stability and road holding, ensuring the driving experience feels as assured as the vehicle looks.

Interior & Craftsmanship

Inside, the cabin has been elevated with a distinctly British tone, combining heritage materials with bespoke detailing.

• Burr walnut trim accents

• Tweed upholstery elements

• Black-on-cream dials using traditional Series Land Rover-style fonts

• Seatbelts dyed to match the Tamar Blue exterior

The use of burr walnut and tweed introduces a layer of understated sophistication, softening the Defender’s utilitarian roots without losing its character. The reworked instrumentation pays tribute to early Land Rover typography, while the colour-matched seatbelts demonstrate the depth of thought behind the build.

Technology & Modern Comfort

While visually rooted in tradition, this Defender has been discreetly brought into the 21st century.

• Integrated infotainment system with Apple CarPlay

• Upgraded audio system

• Six USB charging ports

• Front and rear electric windows

• Heated seats

These enhancements significantly improve day-to-day usability, making the vehicle equally suited to long journeys as it is to rural escapes.

Rear Cabin & Practicality

In the pickup section, additional rear bench seating has been fitted, trimmed to complement the interior scheme and equipped with seatbelts. This provides valuable extra passenger capacity while maintaining the clean proportions of the double cab.

Practical yet considered, the rear seating makes the vehicle particularly handy on shoot days or country pursuits, offering versatility without compromising its cohesive design.

Summary

This is not simply a County-style Defender - it is a carefully curated reinterpretation. Respectful of its 1990s heritage yet elevated through craftsmanship, thoughtful detailing and LS3 V8 performance, this Defender 110 Double Cab offers charm, individuality and serious capability in equal measure.

Equally suited to rural life, creative work or relaxed weekend use, it is a distinctive and characterful example ready for its next chapter.
