Land Rover's commitment to the classic Defender remains strong.

Land Rover Classic is continuing to support the old Defender, despite the fact that the last one rolled off the production line almost eight years ago. The company has just introduced a new batch of parts for the classic vehicle, which were showcased at the Goodwood Revival event in September. One of the standout additions is the 'Expedition Camper', a conversion that turns the Defender into an overlander. Land Rover Classic has partnered with TentBox to create an official roof tent, which will be compatible with both the Defender 90 and 110 models. There will also be the option of a 'Land Rover Classic approved' interior conversion, carried out by The Ply Guys, which adds a bed, kitchen area, and storage space to the rear of the vehicle. The Expedition Camper also features LED headlights, side steps, black Sawtooth wheels, and a black exterior pack. Inside, there are premium front seats, a natural birch roof lining, and a Harris Tweed center console and rear bench.

These new parts aren't just for camper conversions, though. Land Rover Classic has also introduced a Silver Exterior Pack, LED rear lights, a rubber boot liner, an expedition roof rack and ladder combo, and new winches, among other things. It seems that there is still significant demand for the old Defender, and Land Rover is capitalizing on it.
