Can a fancy restomod really be 33 times better than the classic 4x4?
What a month for Land Rover Defender residuals, with the announcement of not one but two restoration-and-modification specials. I also see that we’re deep into territory that I predicted in 2016, when I thought that within a few years, old Defenders would be rebranded as Defender Classics. I was partly right: it seems to be Classic Defender, going by the official title bestowed by Land Rover Classic on its most recent few editions.
Kingsley can be more liberal than JLR about the ones it selects, so you could choose a General Motors LS. And there’s quite a nifty configurator, for those of us who are prone to spending time on such things, as I am. But the thing about both of these and others is the cost: from around £168,000 for a car from Kingsley and from £228,000 for something from Land Rover Classic. And the more bespoke you go, the more expensive it gets.
