Land Rover's special-edition Defender

22 November 2007

Land Rover is celebrating its 60th anniversary with a limited-edition Defender called the SVX.

The vehicle is available as a modified version of the Defender 90 soft-top and 90 station wagon.

Exterior features include silver name badges, tubular side-steps, clear-lens headlamps, five-spoke alloy wheels and an aluminium undershield. It is only available in metallic black.

The interior includes racing seats, an alloy gearknob, uprated CD and MP3 player, and an in-built sat-nav system.

The spare wheel is also stowed behind the front seats on the open-top car, as it was on the 1947 version of the car.

Land Rover is releasing 140 two-seat soft-tops and 60 four-seat station wagons in the UK. Prices are set to be announced later this year, with deliveries taking place in the summer of 2008.
