For those who love to soak up the sun and hit the beach, Land Rover Classic has introduced a car with old-school charm, the Defender V8 Works Bespoke Soft Top.

The car is based on the Defender 90, which was produced between 2012 and 2016, and is available in 49 body colours. It is equipped with a fabric roof available in Black, Dark Khaki, Navy and Sand, additional tie-down points for greater roof security at higher speeds, while the side and rear sections can be unzipped and rolled up. An optional Bikini Top is also available that is installed only above the driver and front passenger.

Land Rover Classic also offers exterior customization of the car including the front grille, door handles, and bonnet lettering, as well as interior customization available in five single-tone and eight two-tone leather options, from Liberty Blue to Garnet. Customers can also choose a custom surfboard rack, as well as a built-in wine cooler.

The Defender V8 Works Bespoke Soft Top is equipped with Alcon brakes and an upgraded suspension with Eibach stabilizers, Bilstein shock absorbers and springs. 16-inch steel wheels with mud tires are standard, but it is also possible to choose 18-inch wheels in black or Limestone.

When it comes to the powertrain, under the bonnet is a 5.0-liter V8 engine with 411 hp and 515 Nm of torque, paired with an 8-speed automatic transmission that sends power to all four wheels. It accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in around 6 seconds with a top speed of 171 km/h.

Speaking of price, the Defender V8 Works Bespoke Soft Top costs 195,000 pounds (228,424 euros) in the UK.
