Land Rover Defender can be called a successful Land Rover model of recent years. Strictly speaking, it has nothing to do with past Defender, but who doesn't like expensive and easy-to-drive Defenders? However, compared to fun models like Wrangler and Ridge, even short-wheelbase 90-series Land Rover Defender is still too serious, and Heritage Customs has brought new ideas to create a convertible version of Land Rover Defender 90. Heritage Customs is a company that specializes in providing modification and tuning services for Land Rover vehicles. In addition to such complete vehicles, it also provides modification parts such as wheels and interior materials modification.

The appearance of this customized version of Land Rover Defender 90 will depend on prototype vehicle. Of course, it can also have a simpler and more elegant appearance, like this official DEMO Car. This 90 is not fitted with extras, not even a beefed up bumper, and exterior is relatively clean.

The biggest change is rims, which are very similar to 1948 steel rims, but 22" size is slightly larger and base 18" steel rims seem to fit better. .

Except for top of rear, you won't find much difference from regular Defender 90, but larger spare tire is more coordinated. The focus, of course, is upper convertible, unlike Wrangler, this convertible is closer to design of some sports cars, is a folding movable structure, which is much more convenient than two rivals. If you want a quick convertible on a Wrangler, you need to opt for a soft top and do some cumbersome disassembly and reassembly.

The interior reflects British luxury. The brown leather seats and center console are impossible to mess up. Of course, if you're willing to pay, you can get creative with interior, like sportier suede. Leather is also a good choice.

The power is no different from regular Defender. In addition to 2.0T and 3.0T diesel engines, diesel engines are also available on the European market. As a car to drive, no amount of power will affect your mood.

Overview

Such a highly complete modification, of course, is not cheap. To change her appearance in picture, it will cost about 100,000 euros, including a new interior, wheels and tires, and a convertible mechanism. Of course, you need to buy a Land Rover 90 yourself. Is it worth it to convert for price of a car, different people may have different answers, but for those players who have enough funds, this is just another toy.
