There’s an all-new Land Rover Defender out, built
using modern underpinnings and fitted with the latest tech gear. However, to
some, the old iteration of the iconic British SUV is still preferable.
Legacy Overland is one of them, and their latest
project breathes new life into one such ride. Named the Surf Edition, it was
stripped down to the bone and had its diesel engine, 5-speed transmission and
transfer case, body panels and pretty much everything else restored.
Finished in Keswick Green with black accents, this
Defender 90 features a soft top, bull bar, steel bumpers and side steps, two
rally-style lamps at the front and underbody protection. Xenon headlamps,
16-inch rims wrapped in BFGoodrich all-terrain tires, suspension lift, battery
kill switch and a six-point roll cage are also part of the package.
The cabin is bathed in stitched beige leatherette,
which can be found on the upper and lower parts of the dashboard, seats, center
armrest and door panels, with a diamond pattern. The classic SUV has a steel
lockable cubby box, too, and it can either get the party started or keep it
going thanks to the aftermarket Pioneer sound system with an amplifier,
subwoofer, four speakers and Bluetooth media receiver. The custom Legacy
Overland dials, front and rear Land Rover rubber mats and four inward-facing
jump seats in the load area, with seatbelts, complete the build.
