Powered by a 405hp 5.0L V8 paired with an eight-speed automatic transmission, the short-wheelbase \u201c90\u201d model aims to blend open-air freedom with rugged performance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Each vehicle is hand-built from a carefully selected donor Defender produced between 2012 and 2016. The reengineering process includes uprated suspension, Alcon brakes and a canvas hood inspired by the final 2016 production model. Buyers can choose from four hood colors and a range of bespoke options, including over 40 paint finishes and 13 leather interior combinations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">True to its heritage, the soft top includes traditional tie-downs and a custom-designed hood frame reminiscent of the North American NAS 90. Customers can personalize their build with options like a wine cooler or surfboard rack, while wheel choices include 16-inch Wolf or 18-inch Sawtooth alloys.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Starting at \u00a3195,000 GBP ($259,412 USD), the Classic Defender V8 Soft Top marks the first official open-top Defender since 2016 and is available through Land Rover Classic in the UK and Germany.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1280\" height=\"853\"
