Wide Track Defender 110 V8 Works by Chelsea Truck Company: A Modern British Icon Reimagined
Rebuilt from the ground up at the esteemed JLR Classic facility in Coventry, the Defender 110 V8 Works represents the pinnacle of modernised heritage. Carefully engineered with a reworked chassis, upgraded interior, and enhanced exterior, this is the classic Defender reborn for a new generation.
Under the bonnet lies Jaguar Land Rover’s naturally aspirated 5.0-litre AJ V8 engine, delivering a commanding 405bhp and 380lb ft of torque. Paired with a smooth-shifting eight-speed ZF automatic transmission, this Defender is more than capable both on and off the road. Bilstein dampers, Eibach springs, and anti-roll bars bring a composed ride through corners, while Alcon four-pot brakes ensure superior stopping power.
At Chelsea Truck Company, our mission is to elevate iconic British vehicles with a bespoke touch, refined yet purposeful. For the Defender 110 V8 Works, we applied our signature Wide Track conversion, enhancing presence without compromising the original Land Rover character.
The addition of our exclusive Wide Track wings, featuring integrated bolt detailing, subtly transforms the Defender’s stance. The design cues are militaristic yet sophisticated, creating a powerful, OEM-plus aesthetic that commands attention without overwhelming the eye.
To complete the transformation, we fitted a custom set of our flagship Model Retro wheels in a striking diamond-cut satin black finish. These wheels offer a bold yet elegant contrast, reinforcing the Defender’s luxurious yet rugged persona.
This build embodies modern British design, engineered with precision and a deep respect for the Defender’s storied past. The result is an elevated expression of automotive design, a vehicle that looks and feels as though it left the factory as an exclusive, limited-edition specification.
Now part of the Saudi Royal Family’s private collection, this one-of-a-kind Defender proudly resides in the Middle East, an unmistakable symbol of prestige, performance, and handcrafted luxury.
