Prindiville Design Defender

Conversion specialist Prindiville Design usually focuses on the more exotic marques such as Lamborghini and Porsche. But for its latest project, it has turned to a vehicle that may have less performance but which, in its own way, is certainly no less desirable: the Land Rover Defender.

Based on the 90 Hard Top, the Prindiville Limited Edition Defender comes with a bespoke interior that features Cobra seats, leather upholstery, alcantara carpets, a bespoke centre console storage unit and an aluminium build-number plaque. For some extra refinement, additional soundproofing is also fitted.

The exterior gets a matt or metallic paint finish and 18” five-spoke alloy wheels, while other embellishments include LED lights front and rear, a sump guard, chrome side protection runners and parking sensors and cameras all round.

Responsibility for the Limited Edition’s technical enhancements has been entrusted to Alive Tuning. As well as upgraded braking and suspension systems, the four-cylinder diesel engine has also received some attention. Four different tuning packages are available, enabling power to be increased up to 190 bhp (141 kW / 192 PS), and the result can be a very respectable 0-60 mph (96 km/h) time of ten seconds.

Just twenty-five examples of the Prindiville Limited Edition Defender will be built. The price has been set at £52,000, or US$81,500 (excluding shipping and import taxes).
