Land Rover Defender 90 Tophat V8
Specifications
The story behind this collectible...
A Tophat speaks louder than words.
The Land Rover Defender. A car that was synonymous with snorkels, bull bars, winches, trenches and the savannah in Africa. These days, the average Dutch Defender has it a little easier. The steepest slope is the bridge of the Prinsengracht and off-roading through the sandy path to horseback riding lessons is also quite something, Baudouin! But oh well, the Defender is and remains, practical considerations aside, an icon!
The four- or five-burner self-ignition lends themselves perfectly to crawling through mud and delivering a lot of power at low revs. The disadvantage is that reaching 100 km/h is not as smooth as the average beard growth and that they had the handling of a teenager walking out of the pub for the first time after the Corona crisis. Tophat has made the Defender icon, the 'AMG's and SVR'ren' laugh with toothache. How? completely overhauled with modified camshafts 3.9 L V8, mated to a 5-speed manual gearbox, breathing by a bespoke valved exhaust system, of course. Necessary? Uh-huh. Amusing? Gadverdamme how good!
And nowadays you can put quite a few crosses at Designo from the G, for example, but nothing can match the Top(hat). Our Land Rover Defender 90 Tophat: finished in black with matching quilted leather upholstery. A roll cage for the exterior, 16? Land Rover Sawtooth wheels, aluminum black checker plate fender covers, a KBX grille and air intake, computerized fuel injection, a NAS-style rear bumper, a Tuffy lockable center console, reversing camera, Apple carplay, heated front seats and a custom stereo system to enjoy with 6 passengers. Or rather your surfboard; For the Republic in Bloemendaal or crowdsurfing over the spotters on the Brink in Laren!
Will we see you soon?
