Kingsley Re-Engineered has unveiled its highly anticipated Defender model line at the prestigious Salon Privé Blenheim Palace Concours event. Held just a short distance from its UK-based facility where each vehicle is meticulously crafted, this all-new Kingsley Defender sets a new standard for the iconic Land Rover model, blending classic charm with modern luxury.
A New Era for the Iconic Defender
Kingsley’s Defender series is available in both short-wheelbase (D90) and longer-wheelbase (D110) configurations, each designed with precision and a keen eye for performance. This definitive series embodies the perfect fusion of heritage and contemporary engineering, offering a bespoke experience for adventurers and luxury seekers alike.
The short-wheelbase Defender 90 (D90) stands out for its agility and versatility, ideal for urban environments and rugged off-road terrain. Its compact size, coupled with the ability to accommodate between two and six seats, provides a dynamic driving experience. In contrast, the Defender 110 (D110) offers an extended wheelbase and seating capacity for up to nine passengers, combining extra space with enhanced ride comfort for both family adventures and off-road expeditions.
A Commitment to Craftsmanship and Innovation
Established in 2001, Kingsley Re-Engineered has built a reputation for restoring and customising classic Range Rovers and Land Rovers. With this new Defender series, Kingsley is redefining its approach, delivering a cohesive collection that reflects over two decades of expertise. Each vehicle undergoes approximately 1,500 hours of meticulous restoration at the company’s Oxfordshire facility, ensuring unparalleled quality and durability.
The Kingsley Defender features an upgraded powertrain, including the option of a new high-torque 4.2-litre V8 engine in the D90 model. This engine achieves a top speed exceeding 100 mph and accelerates from 0-60 mph in just 9.5 seconds. Customers can also opt for a four to eight-speed automatic gearbox and Chevrolet LS3/LT1 V8 engines for further performance enhancements.
Luxurious Interior Meets Cutting-Edge Technology
Inside, the Kingsley Defender offers a sanctuary of comfort and advanced technology. The interior can be customised with high-quality Nappa leather and Alcantara accents, blending ruggedness with refined luxury. Features include exclusive sandstone leather with Spinneybeck seat centres, a bespoke instrument cluster, and modern conveniences like wireless Apple CarPlay.
The Defender’s cabin is designed to be both a command centre and a retreat, with options for heated seats, a range of audio solutions, and various roof configurations, including hard top, panoramic glass, and full canvas covering. Enhanced suspension and braking systems, along with all-terrain tyres and an upgraded engine cooling system, ensure optimal performance and reliability.
Bespoke Customisation and Global Availability
Kingsley Re-Engineered offers extensive customisation options, allowing clients to tailor their Defender to individual preferences. From bespoke exterior colours and finishes to personalised interior details, each Defender is crafted to reflect the unique tastes of its owner.
The new Kingsley Defender series is now available for worldwide delivery, with prices starting at £140,000 plus VAT. Each vehicle is handcrafted at Kingsley’s Oxfordshire HQ, continuing the company’s legacy of excellence in bespoke automotive craftsmanship.
