The Land Rover Defender recently received one of the most major updates in its more than 70-year history. But that doesn’t mean that the automaker has stopped thinking about the old model. In fact, this month, it showed off a selection of new and upcoming parts to help owners modify and keep their Classic Defenders on the road longer.
At this year’s Goodwood Revival, Land Rover showed off rooftop tents, interior modifications, sidesteps and more for the vintage vehicle. The parts are either being produced, or are approved, by Land Rover Classic.
It demonstrated what is possible with these parts with a model it calls the Expedition Camper. It features a TentBox cargo roof that will be available starting in early 2024, LED headlamps, side steps, Black Sawtooth wheels with black center caps, and a black exterior pack that makes the grille, headlight surrounds, metal heritage badging, and a bolt kit black.
Inside, it received a camper conversion from The Ply Guys that was fully approved by Land Rover Classic. That includes an Urlar floor with pin striping, a Croch Suas ceiling, a Torridon cooking station with slide out storage, a cubby box by Gairdean, a low level pull out drawer with locker made of birch ply, and Harris Tweed upholstery.
In addition, Land Rover Classic showed off its roof rack and ladder, its leather steering wheel, and its SVX alloy gear knob on a 110 Hard Top model. On a 90 Station Wagon, it showed its brighter side, with the Silver Exterior Pack that adds silver painted 16-inch Wolf steer wheels, LED rear lights, a load space liner made of rubber, and more.
Finally, it also showed off its Trophy Tribute Packs I and II, which support the client events of the same name. The former adds a Heritage grille with metal Heritage badges, an A-Frame nudge bar, an integrated winch and winch bumper, and 16-inch painted Wolf wheels.
The Trophy II Tribute Pack has an adventure front grille, black headlight surrounds, an Expedition Camo wrap, 18-inch Sawtooth alloy wheels, an integrated winch, and mudflaps with white Heritage logos.
All part of the Land Rover Classic accessories packages, these parts can be ordered from the automaker in order to allow customers to enjoy their Classic Defenders properly.
