The Classic Defender Works V8 Soft Top

November 10, 2025

The CLASSIC DEFENDER WORKS V8 is a very exclusive piece of automotive engineering and is only available from LAND ROVER CLASSIC, the JAGUAR LAND ROVER factory division that specialises in the brands’ classic cars.

The basic facts

As with the DEFENDER WORKS V8 Limited Editions, all WORKS V8 BESPOKE models are based on a used DEFENDER 2.2 TD4 from 2012-2016 with EURO 5 emissions. The initial registration corresponds to that of the base vehicle, 2012-2016. Every single CLASSIC DEFENDER V8 BY BESPOKE is dismantled by hand, completely overhauled and individually customised according to your specifications. Only 30 units can be built per year, ensuring that a WORKS V8 remains a truly exclusive vehicle.

The CLASSIC DEFENDER V8 base is powered by the genuine Land Rover 5.0-litre 405bhp V8 petrol engine and mated to a ZF 8-speed automatic transmission for effortless performance and supported by our in-house suspension and braking system designed for optimum road holding and ride comfort.
