The L405 Range Rover is already an excellent generation of Range Rover, though built in exceptionally high luxury such as this SVAutobiography LWB takes it to another level. Looking over the car, it exudes an old money have-your-own-driver sort of feel.
The impression begins on the outside with two-tone Valloire White over black exterior. Step inside though and the vintage tan leather cockpit features Quilted Poltrona Frau semi-analine leather upholstery, heated, cooled, and massaging front and rear seats, reclining rear seats, a rear seat console refrigerator, and a rear seat entertainment system.

Discovery has strengthened its family appeal by introducing a pair of new editions, while updates across the entire line‑up enhance both the design and family‑friendly versatility of the seven‑seat SUV.
The new Discovery Tempest and Gemini editions honour Discovery’s 35‑year legacy with subtle nods to the model’s history in their names, which also inspire their exclusive design details.
In addition to the new Tempest and Gemini editions, Discovery also offers fresh wheel options, enhanced equipment and a new range of curated accessory packs designed to make the most of everyday family adventures.
DISCOVERY TEMPEST
The most luxurious, comfortable and highly‑specified Discovery ever produced, the new Tempest edition represents the pinnacle of the family. Tempest takes its name from the secret development launch programme for the second‑generation Discovery launched in 1998 – one of the brand’s most recognisable models. Discovery Tempest is available with a choice of three body colours, all exclusively with a Matte Protective Film for the first time ever on Discovery. Clients can choose from Charente Grey, Varesine Blue or Carpathian Grey paint with the Matte Protective Film.
A contrasting Petra Copper Gloss roof finish is standard – the first time this roof colour has been available on Discovery – with Narvik Gloss Black available as an option. This is complemented by a Petra Copper Gloss finish for exterior design details including the the wing vent, Discovery script and lower bumper inserts. The 22‑inch Diamond Turned Style 5124 alloy wheel design sports Petra Copper tinted lacquer and Gloss Black detailing – a new finish for Discovery and exclusive to Tempest.
The Tempest is further identified by unique badging for the B‑pillars, treadplates, puddle lamps and interior finishers. The spiral Tempest graphic represents power and movement. The cabin is enhanced with Shadow Aluminium detailing, and extended Ebony Windsor leather upholstery.
DISCOVERY GEMINI
A thoroughly modern tribute to Discovery’s ingenious design and engineering, which has enabled joyful family adventures for more than 35 years, the Gemini edition takes its name from the codename given to the innovative, powerful and fuel efficient Tdi diesel engine that powered the original Discovery from 1989 and brought new levels of refinement to the powertrain. Discovery Gemini is available in six exterior colours, including Sedona Red which is a first for Discovery and unique to this edition, with a Narvik Gloss Black contrast roof. The Gloss Black detailing extends to the lower body cladding and front wing vents – complemented by an Atlas Gloss grille surround and Discovery script.
A Gemini‑specific graphic on the B‑pillar badges, treadplates and interior finishers also features, alongside new 21‑inch split‑seven‑spoke Style 7001 alloy wheels finished in Diamond Turned Silver. The twinned‑hexagon Gemini graphic reflects duality and togetherness, with a nod to the forms found on the Discovery grille.
The Gemini is perfect for family adventures with a host of extra comfort and convenience features, including a cooler compartment located between the front seats, Click & Go media holders for rear seat occupants and three‑zone climate control to keep the whole family at the right temperature.
Both Tempest and Gemini models are available with the latest powerful and efficient Ingenium D350 diesel engine, with state‑of‑the‑art 48V Mild‑Hybrid Electric Vehicle (MHEV) technology and eight‑speed all‑wheel drive transmission. Developing 350PS and 700Nm of torque, the 3.0‑litre engine’s efficient mild‑hybrid technology harvests and stores energy generated during deceleration and redeploys it to assist acceleration, making it particularly suitable for towing up to 3,500kg.
FURTHER ENHANCEMENTS
Across the rest of the line‑up, Discovery now features a number of specification enhancements designed to offer more choice and versatility. There are new wheel options, featuring a unique colour finish that helps elevate the exterior, providing the perfect combination of practicality, all‑terrain capability and visual appeal.
The five‑spoke 22‑inch Style 5124 wheel can now be specified with Dark Grey tinted lacquer and Gloss Black detailing, while the split‑five‑spoke 21‑inch Style 5123 in black is as an option on Dynamic SE.
The new Tempest and Gemini models join the existing trim line‑up of S, Dynamic SE, Dynamic HSE and the Metropolitan edition, which all now feature enhanced specifications, while the already generously equipped Dynamic HSE gets three‑zone climate control so the whole family remains cool, calm and entertained.

Classic Defender V8 Soft Top joins the Land Rover Classic line‑up, paying homage to previous generations of Defender Soft Top, including the sought‑after NAS 90 from the 1990s
Carefully hand‑built by the expert engineers at Land Rover Classic who know the model best, each made‑to‑order vehicle is based on an original Solihull‑built Defender
Comprehensive rebuild and upgrade programme includes 405PS 5.0‑litre petrol V8 engine, eight‑speed automatic transmission, revised suspension, uprated brakes and luxurious interior
Classic Defender clients can create their dream Soft Top, with a choice of four hood colours, two hood styles, and near‑limitless bespoke personalisation
New Classic Defender V8 Soft Top prices start from £195,000 plus applicable local taxes
Coventry, UK – Land Rover Classic has confirmed the return of an icon with the launch of the Classic Defender V8 Works Bespoke Soft Top – the most desirable classic Land Rover Defender.
Soft‑top examples of the classic Defender are highly sought‑after, and the new addition makes it possible to own a personalised example of this legendary model from the official home of classic Defenders, combining the joy of open‑topped driving with traditional Defender off‑road capability.
Exclusively available on the short‑wheelbase ‘90’ chassis, the Soft Top – the first Defender Soft Top since 2016 – follows the introduction of the new Works Bespoke service in 2024. The Soft Top provides a new way for clients to express their dream vision of a legendary Classic Defender.
Each Classic Defender V8 Soft Top is the result of hundreds of hours of work by expert Land Rover Classic engineers. Every example begins with a specially sourced donor vehicle, originally produced from 2012‑2016, which is comprehensively enhanced and reengineered. The result is a unique vehicle, produced to OEM standards with longevity, luxury and capability in mind.
A bespoke canvas hood ensures a perfect fit, and is available in four colours, with Black as standard and Sand, Dark Khaki and Navy also available. Its unique design is inspired by the hood fitted to the last Defender to roll off the production line in 2016 and features authentic tie downs and webbing. The side and rear sections can be unzipped and rolled‑up for open air driving while retaining a degree of protection from the elements, and Land Rover Classic has added extra tie‑down points to keep the canvas tightly secured at highway speeds.
The hood frame itself has been specially designed for the new model, with bracing that takes its inspiration from the coveted original NAS (North American Specification) 90. A smaller ‘Bikini Hood’ is also available, protecting the front‑seat occupants, in the same range of colours.
A selection of 49 paint finishes allows clients to create their perfect look, while the Works Bespoke match‑to‑sample colour service allows owners to create truly individual paint schemes.
Clients can personalise a vast array of exterior and interior details to bring their Soft Top vision to life, including the grille, door handles and bonnet script, while a choice of 16‑inch Wolf wheels or 18‑inch Sawtooth alloys is available – the former finished in either Black or Limestone. Inside, there are five monotone or eight duo‑tone leather options to choose from, with colours such as Caraway, Liberty Blue, and Garnet, plus any number of other bespoke finishes. Unusual options and accessories include an onboard wine cooler and a custom surfboard rack, allowing Land Rover Classic to create one‑off examples to suit any lifestyle.
All Classic Defender V8 Soft Top vehicles are powered by a Land Rover 5.0‑litre petrol V8 engine, with 405hp and 515Nm of torque. This is paired with an eight‑speed ZF automatic transmission, ensuring effortless performance and precise responses.
The V8 power is accompanied by uprated suspension and brakes. The suspension set‑up is specifically tailored to the unique characteristics of the 90 Soft Top and combines traditional Defender capability with superior comfort in all environments. Its revised coil spring rates, Eibach anti‑roll bars, and Bilstein dampers have undergone comprehensive testing and development to ensure they meet OEM standards. The brakes are uprated to four‑piston Alcon units with front discs measuring 335mm in diameter, and 300mm at the rear, for confidence‑inspiring stopping power.
Dedicated personalised support is provided by the specialist teams at Land Rover Classic in Coventry, UK, and Essen, Germany. Prices for the Classic Defender V8 Soft Top start from £195,000 plus applicable local taxes and every example comes with a one‑year, unlimited mileage warranty.

V8 DEFENDER HISTORY
V8 powertrains in the Land Rover Defender and its production predecessors started with the Series III Stage 1 V8 of 1979. The carburetted 3.5‑litre Rover V8 produced 90bhp.
The Land Rover 110 from 1983, and 90 from 1984, used the same 3.5‑litre Rover V8 engine as the Series III Stage 1 V8, but in 113bhp form, uprated to 135bhp from 1987.
For North American Specification (NAS), Defender 90s and 110s only, from 1992, a 182bhp fuel‑injected 3.9‑litre version of the Rover V8 was fitted, along with a four‑speed automatic transmission.
In 1998, the fuel‑injected 190bhp 4.0‑litre V8 from the second‑generation Range Rover was fitted to a limited run of 50th Anniversary Defender 90s, with a four‑speed automatic transmission.
5.0‑litre naturally aspirated 2018 Defender Works V8 became the first official V8‑powered Land Rover Defender to be introduced since 1998.
Other editions of the Land Rover Classic Defender V8 include the Islay, Trophy and Trophy II variants.

Uncompromising Presence Commanding the road, Concept 001 rides on newly announced 20-inch Hammerhead RS-Forged wheels, paired with robust 33-profile all-terrain tyres for an imposing stance. The addition of Chelsea Truck Company’s extra-wide over-fenders and carbon fibre rear diffuser spats amplifies its bold profile. Built for adventure and elegance alike, the lower body features 3D-textured protective paint, combining resilience with a rugged yet refined finish. Up front, facelifted headlights lend a sharper, more assertive edge, while a KAHN® branded rigid spare wheel cover at the rear delivers a polished accent. The exterior is crowned by a lightweight, aerodynamically optimised vented bonnet in deep gloss black—a performance-inspired flourish that heightens both dynamism and prestige.

“Monte Carlo Worthy” is maybe the best way ever to describe a pristine vintage luxury car, and that’s precisely how Gallery Aaldering leads in explaining the Bahama Gold example you see here. Why? Well, for starters it spent its last ten years residing in Monte Carlo.
Remember, this is the place where F1 champions valet whatever the hell they want to because they are F1 champions, or cruise the streets of this ultra exclusive town past yachts and casinos. Having the most expensive anything is likely passé, though perhaps so too is going back to Monte Carlo with someone else’s former Range.
So maybe don’t go back to Monte Carlo. Even still, if you’re seeking one of the best known examples of Range Rover’s 2-door early trucks with an incredible specification including manual transmission, we know where you can find one.

Imported in 2020, this left hand drive original Defender 90 is a desirable specification though not entirely original. It’s been modified to look like early HUE 166 model including Grasmere Green paint, beige seats, white roof, color matched steel wheels and “HUE 166” badging.
Also desirable, it’s go the more powerful 2.5-liter turbodiesel inline four cylinder with give-speed manual transmission and dual-range transfer case. Other amenities include dual inward facing rear seats, locking center differential, hard top, 16-inch steel wheels, “Puma” hood, front disc brakes and cabin heater.
The listing has a lot of close-up detail shots that we didn’t include here but are worth checking out if you are thinking about bidding. Most Land Rovers this age are not pristine, and this one shows some wear and overspray. Even still, it’s still quite charming in a very classic Land Rover specification and so we’re including it here.

Defender will enter Dakar and the FIA World Rally‑Raid Championship (W2RC) from 2026 with a new competition‑spec vehicle derived from Defender OCTA
Defender will compete in the ‘Stock’ category for production‑based vehicles which from 2026 will conform to new and heavily revised regulations
Competition vehicles will share Defender OCTA’s tough underpinnings and 4.4‑litre twin turbo V8 powertrain
Every competition vehicle will retain the same tough D7x body architecture, transmission and driveline layout as Defender OCTA – testament to its extreme durability and strength
[source: Land Rover]
Defender OCTA – the performance hero of the unstoppable Defender family – will form the basis of Defender’s Dakar and FIA World Rally Raid Championship competition challenger from 2026, showcasing its extreme performance credentials in the world’s toughest off‑road events.
Unstoppable all‑terrain capability and strength are at the core of every Defender and these attributes are essential for any rally‑raid competition vehicle. Selecting Defender OCTA – the fastest and most capable Defender ever made – as the basis for the British adventure brand’s rally‑raid programme was a natural choice.
Defender will run a two‑vehicle entry of competition‑spec Defenders across the full five rounds of the FIA World Rally‑Raid Championship (W2RC) under the ‘Stock’ category for production‑based vehicles, and a three‑vehicle entry in the championship’s halo event, the Dakar Rally, from 2026.
New regulations aimed at making the ‘Stock’ category significantly more competitive will be implemented by 2026, as the FIA and Dakar organisers respond to the growing popularity of high‑performance 4x4s and SUVs. It’s the increased performance these new regulations permit that make the Stock category perfect to authentically demonstrate Defender’s extreme durability and capability.
Taking on the most demanding rally‑raid event in the world represents the ultimate test of our most extreme Defender to date. We know that Dakar will be an immense challenge, but Defender OCTA combines huge performance with characteristic Defender capability and durability – the perfect foundations for what I’m confident will be a highly competitive rally‑raid vehicle. – Mark Cameron, Defender Managing Director
Defender competing in Dakar will be an incredibly exciting challenge. We had a vision for the future of production‑based vehicles in rally‑raid so it has been incredibly positive to align with the ASO, FIA and other manufacturers and work collaboratively to create the new regulations for the ‘Stock’ category. We now have the right platform to authentically demonstrate Defender’s capability in the biggest challenge in off‑road motorsport. Ahead of us is a year of detailed preparation, testing and learning to be ready for Dakar 2026. The team are already well under way and we are very much looking forward to competing in both Dakar and W2RC – the world’s toughest off‑road events. – James Barclay, JLR Motorsport Managing Director
At the core of Defender OCTA – and retained for the competition vehicles – is its robust D7x (for extreme) body architecture. Based on the lightweight aluminium monocoque construction that forms the basis of every Defender, it is three times stronger than traditional ‘body‑on‑frame’ designs and provides impressive torsional rigidity.
This inherent robustness, coupled with Defender OCTA’s bespoke geometry and kinematic design, made it the obvious choice to underpin Defender’s Dakar programme. The specially prepared competition vehicles will share Defender OCTA’s body architecture, transmission and driveline layout – as per the Dakar and W2RC’s regulations – to showcase its unstoppable capability and durability. Power will be provided by Defender OCTA’s 4.4‑litre twin turbo V8 engine.
An exhaustive Defender competition test and development programme is already well under way. It will culminate in test events and a full team launch later this year ahead of Dakar and the FIA World Rally Raid Championship in 2026.

Malibu, CA – Land Rover continued its Destination Defender experiential series with a recent weekend placement amid the beauty and splendor of Calamigos Ranch in Malibu, California, from November 22—24. It featured curated outdoor adventure and fitness activities, musical performances, driving experiences, glamping, workshops, and an evening to honor this year’s Defender Service Awards winners.
On display were several special edition models. First was one of the most recent additions to the lineup, the Octa Edition 1, a top-of-the-line Defender with matte PPF wrap over the paint. The Defender Beach Break limited edition released earlier this year was also on display.
Heritage is always an important element of any Defender or Land Rover Display, and Destination Defender Malibu did not disappoint. The Queen’s Collection of Defenders and Range Rovers that had been displayed at Pebble Beach could also be seen here had you missed out on attending Monterey Car Week.
In addition to a lifestyle encampment that is entirely on brand, guests are also able to take test drives in the nearby hills, including curated trail route teaching the technical capabilities of the Defender 110 plus a knowledgeable copilot to explain the many offroad features, show how they work and explain why they are needed.
