LAND ROVER DEFENDER LIMITED EDITION LAUNCHED IN MALAYSIA

Jaguar Land Rover Malaysia (JLRM) has launched a Land Rover Defencer Limited Edition here today. This is essentially a tribute to the truly iconic 4x4 that will no longer be in production by the end of this year. A truly bittersweet moment, as it is sad to see an icon leave us but it also leaves us in anticipation of its successor. 

Anyway, JLRM has now given us a Land Rover Defender Double Cab pickup enhanced with 13 exclusive items – a chequer plate set, roof rack, raised air intake, side protection runners, A-frame protection bar and kit installation, a set of four spotlights, rear step bumper assembly, 9.5cti WARN electric winch, winch accessories kit, bumper mounting, a set of five off-road tyres and a special Santorini Black eye-catching paint job on the body and rims.

The Land Rover Defender Limited Edition will be customised to order and is available from any Sime Darby AutoConneXion Sdn Bhd or SISMA Auto Sdn Bhd authorised dealerships. It is priced at RM153,888.00 plus RM65,388.00 for the Limited Edition Accessories Package (on its own worth RM79,000), inclusive of labour charges and 6% GST. 

The Limited Edition Accessories Package is also available for purchase by current Land Rover Defender owners interested in transforming their vehicles into ‘go-anywhere’ mean machines. The package is originally worth RM79,000.00 but is now available at a special price of RM65,388.00 during the promotion period from now till December 31, 2015. The Limited Edition Accessories are also available individually for sale. 

So this package gets you something totally badass. Close to the Land Rover Defender Big Foot used in the latest James Bond movie, Spectre. You only need those huge tyres and some rope wrapped round the bonnet up front.

For the past six decades, the Land Rover Series models and subsequently, the Defender, have played crucial roles in nation building all over the world.  The model was and remains the mainstay of many security forces, development agencies and service organisations due to its unmatched off-roading capabilities and almost unbreakable design and all-aluminium body construction.  Today, it is still the preferred vehicle for many outdoor and off-roading enthusiasts.
