Land Rover Defender 90 Sombrero

Un sombrero de copa dice más que las palabras.

The Land Rover Defender. A car that was synonymous with snorkels, bull bars, winches, trenches and the savannah in Africa. Nowadays, the average Dutch Defender has it a bit easier. The steepest slope is the bridge of the Prinsengracht and off-road through the sandy path to riding lessons is also quite something, Boudewijn! But hey, the Defender is and remains, practical considerations aside, an icon!

The four- or five-burner self-igniters are ideal for crawling through mud and deliver a lot of power at low revs. The disadvantage is that 100 km/h is less smooth than the average beard growth and that they had the roadholding of a teenager who walks out of the pub for the first time after the Corona crisis. Tophat has made the Defender icon the ‘AMGs and SVRs’ laugh with a toothache. How? A GM 350 small block, manual T56 gearbox, revised front and rear diffs and KONI heavy track shock absorbers. Necessary? No. Fun? Damn that’s good!

And now you can put crosses at Designo van de G, for example, but nothing can beat the Top(hat). Our Land Rover Defender 90 Tophat: Stornoway Grey, 90 who likes to go topless in her Sand/Black bikini top during the first summer adventures. Wooden steering wheel and pepita leather interior. In the back? Just 4 people on license plate. For in Bloomingdale or crowd surfing over the spotters on the Brink in Laren! See you soon?
