Even if winter is slowly but surely coming here, there is still sunshine and + 30 ° elsewhere. And for the warm regions, the team from Arkonic exactly the right vehicle at the start. And a very special one Land Rover Defender Beach Cruiser from 1989. But only five copies built. And the Defender is deliberately not a soft top version, but a full-fledged one Convertible, With Windshield and nothing else above the belt. The sleek new look of the off-roader is by the way the work of the former Bugatti designer Etienne Salome, which among other things also for the 18,7 million US dollar expensive Bugatti La Voiture Noire responsible for. The refined design of the vehicle shows darkened Headlights with LED technology that is behind a tailor-made radiator grill hide. And beyond that there was one Painting in Pennine Gray for the two-door.

Even the Door handles has been hidden and we have probably never seen such a clean Defender before. And that also applies to the interior. There are no eye-catching digital displays or even an infotainment system, the spartan cockpit and dashboard instead look almost like they did in 1989. There is a three-seater in the front OEM folding benchcovered in black denim and almost everything in the back flew outto free up plenty of cargo space for the next trip to the beach. However, there is a new one Air conditioning just in case it is too warm. And under the hood? A converted one is working there 3,9 liter V8who at a Five-speed manual is coupled.
