If anything, Osprey Custom Cars’ custom builds are some of the best money can buy. Despite looking like a well-preserved classic Land Rover Defender 90, this one was built from the ground up. It sports a modern chassis with suspension and brake upgrades, skid plates, steel bumpers and Kahn 18-inch alloy wheels shod in chunky off-road rubber.
Finished in Santorini Black, it features
LED headlights and DRLs in the front bumper, a full-size spare at the back, a
canvas soft top and a satin black powder-coated roll bar. There’s also a new
front grille and a Puma-spec bonnet. This Defender is powered by a 5.3-liter LS
V8 that produces 325 horsepower and 447 Nm of torque, driving
all four wheels through a six-speed automatic transmission with transfer case.
Inside, there’s black leather upholstery,
heated front seats, four inward-facing jump seats in the load area, air
conditioning, 7-inch infotainment system from Alpine with Bluetooth, Android
Auto and Apple CarPlay, reversing camera, power windows, JL audio, LED ambient
lighting, Momo steering wheel and a TDCI-spec dash with stock gauges.
Custom Defenders do not come cheap,
though, and this Defender 90 will set you back almost US$ 130,000. The new-gen
model, on the other hand, starts from US$ 46,100 in the U.S. – but we guess that’s
comparing apples to oranges.
