Coachbuilder Niels van Roij Design has just unveiled a tweaked version of the Land Rover Defender that it dubs the ‘Valiance.’ The upgraded off-roader comes courtesy of Heritage Customs, a tuning company founded by Niels van Roij. Work on the first Valiance has just been completed and the brand is taking orders from Land Rover Defender owners looking to add a unique flair to their rides.
Compared to some other projects from van
Roij, the alterations made to the Defender are relatively minor. Customers are
offered a plethora of different forged wheels measuring 20-inch and 22-inches
and the example featured here also rocks a unique front fascia with a distinct
grille. The customized Defender also features fender air vents crafted from
solid aluminum and milled protective plates on the bonnet.
However, plenty of work has been performed
to the interior of the Defender. Most notably, the seats have been trimmed in
new black and white leather that includes Heritage’s logo embroidered on the
headrests and sitting on the steering wheel. The white and black leather
upholstery extends across the dashboard and door panels.
Customers are offered a plethora of ways
to modify their dream Valiance model. For example, Heritage Customs can create
personalized treadplates, laser engraved aluminum door inlays and dashboard
trim, full leather door cards, and aluminum boot lid inserts.
Prices for the Valiance vary depending on
what a customer orders; they start from € 90,000 (US$ 125,000) including the Defender
itself, but excluding taxes.
