Land Rover Classic is introducing a range of upgrades for older Defender models which claim to deliver enhanced performance inspired by the exclusive limited-edition Defender Works V8 70th edition.

The new upgrade kits, the first of their kind from Land Rover Classic, allow Defender owners to enhance 90 and 110 derivatives built between 1994 and 2016.

Upgrades start with diamond-turned 18in Sawtooth alloy wheels which can be fitted to Defenders built from the 1994 model year onwards.

The Defender Suspension Upgrade Kit is suitable from 2007 model year vehicles, comprising uniquely tuned suspension tailored for on-road comfort and dynamics with revised coil spring rates, dampers, anti-roll bars, links and bushes. The Defender handling upgrade kit adds uprated Works V8 specification brake discs, pads and calipers to the 18in Sawtooth alloy wheels and enhanced suspension.

The final and most comprehensive upgrade option is only available on 2.2-litre TDCi models produced from the 2012 model year onwards and is only available direct from Land Rover Classic.

The Defender Classic Works upgrade kit includes all of the wheel, brake and suspension elements in addition to new performance-rated tyres and an engine upgrade which delivers an extra 40bhp, total output of 162bhp and 463Nm torque.
