REVIEW: The Land Rover Defender 75th Limited Edition is a nicely conceived tribute to its grandfather - if you can stomach its £92,435 price tag
That said, the top-spec, middle-engined variant of the mid-sized Defender still seems to be the sweet spot in the line-up. Of course, the unreasonable demands of today's premium car buyers mean this was always going to be more of a spiritual than literal reinterpretation of its 1940s forebear, whose open sides, sparsely furnished cabin and, shall we say, lackadaisical approach to occupant safety would not a £90,000 car make.
Compared to, say, its Range Rover sibling, the Defender more closely apes the bare-bones ethos of the original Land Rover, in so far as it features a partly exposed dashboard and is decorated throughout with exposed screwheads , but make no mistake: this is a pure-bred luxury car, and nowhere better represented as such than by this top-speccer.
We've got 14-way electrically adjustable, heated and cooled front seats, a refrigerated centre console, a top-flight Meridian sound system and – this being fundamentally an HSE – the electronic air suspension that gives pricier Defender models the edge over entry cars in the refinement stakes.
Our test car was fitted with the rag-top roof, rather than the sliding panoramic option, which did make the black cabin feel a bit darker when closed, but was a nice toy to play with when the sun came out and, together with the decorative checker plates on the front wings, felt like a more tangible nod back to the dune-bashing Land Rovers of old.
