The Defender 110 Explorer in Santorini Black, one of JLR’s popular colour schemes across their range. With the Explorer appendage, it comes with the special accessories pack over the standard 110. The long wheelbase model has the addition of a side mounted gear carrier, an expedition roof rack, raised air intakes for engine protection when driving in dusty or sandy conditions, wheel arch protectors made of a suitably durable material for driving through hazardous terrain and – should it be needed in such circumstances – a rear mounted spare wheel in its Defender labelled cover.
The 1:76 scale replica features all these external features and is presented completely black inside and out, except for a silvered lower rear panel below the spare wheel. Registered 569 GAH, a special detail includes the 110 designation printed on the front of the bonnet.
Designed by JLR’s Gerry McGovern, the latest Defender in all its guises is a completely new concept with innovative technology and no carry-forward components from previous models. The result is revolutionary.
