Galpin Auto Sports has unveiled its take on the Defender that takes its inspiration from classic Land Rovers. Shown at the LA Auto Show, the pair of SUVs combine the best of new and old. Partnering with apparel brand and retail boutique UNDEFEATED, the Defenders feature steel wheels, two-tone paint, and much more. Together, they take their inspiration from the classic Series I and Series II Land Rovers.
The first, a Defender 90 P400 First
Edition, is painted Jaguar Green, which is topped off by an Ivory roof matched
by Ivory wheels. It’s equipped with parchment leather upholstery and the
interior gets Land Rover’s blackout package. A custom trunk storage unit,
meanwhile, has a surfboard attachment, which, given that this is the LA Auto
Show, seems appropriate.
The second one, a Defender 110 P400 SE,
gets Jaguar Navy paint as well as an Ivory roof and wheels. Its interior is
also upholstered in parchment leather, but it gets navy houndstooth inserts. It
has also been kitted out with a Nomad Kitchen Co. sink and prep table pullout,
as well as a domestic refrigerator pullout and a three-drawer rear cargo
storage unit, in case you need to make a casserole while you’re deep in the
jungle.
Unfortunately, further details will be
withheld until December. We do, however, know that the Defender P400 is fitted
with Land Rover’s 3.0-liter six-cylinder engine that makes 395 hp and 550 Nm of torque. Galpin Auto Sports is a speed shop
located in Van Nuys and was formerly featured on Pimp My Ride. It is part of
Galpin Motors, one of the biggest dealership networks in California by volume.
