Land Rover Defender 130 2006 TD5 Camper

Built in 2019 on a Land Rover Defender 130 utility chassis. The vehicle was stripped and extensively refurbished in 2019 before the rear body was fabricated by Custom Campers in Germany. It was built specifically to fit into a shipping container.

The refurbishments started by stripping back to the original and good condition chassis. The chassis, bulkhead, both axles and countless steel parts were then blasted, galvanised and powder coated to ensure they remain corrosion free for decades. The base vehicle was meticulously upgraded.
