The Land Rover

It’s story and Technical Specifications:

Much time and consideration has been put into this spectacular 2.2 TDCI 110 Land Rover Hearse. It was my personal build design project throughout 2020, where I started by sourcing the right vehicle, with the lowest mileage possible for conversion. 

It was important to me to keep the original specifications of the 110 Land Rover Defender by not extending the chassis length, after all, I wanted the Land Rover to still look like a Land Rover. 

The deck conversion is professionally coach built, and the interior cosmetic changes were just as important to me as the exterior, creating a high end, luxurious feel throughout. I chose matching Lucari Designs leather seats, leather dash pods, leather cubby box and door panels, with details of white stitching, creating a refined interior. The exterior paint finish of carpathian grey I thought would be befitting to its role and be a little different to traditional black. 

It wasn’t until the passing of His Late Royal Highness The Duke of Edinburgh that I realised he too had been designing and building his own Land Rover Defender Hearse for his own funeral. A touching and humbling affinity I felt in a similar personal project. 

I have put all I possibly can into this Land Rover hearse, knowing it could only be of excellence for me to be happy to offer it to others, being very mindful throughout the build process that I wanted to provide an appealing vehicle of choice that any fellow Land Rover lover would approve of. 

As any Land Rover enthusiast knows the continuous care and upkeep of thier vehicle is an ongoing relationship of care and love, and this is something I abide by – I wouldn’t be satisfied with providing anything less as it is my pride.

From one Land Rover enthusiast to another, I hope you like it.
