2009 LAND ROVER DEFENDER 90 SVX

Limited Edition

MODEL HISTORY

The SVX is a special edition Land Rover Defender, introduced to celebrate the 60th anniversary of the iconic British 4×4. Limited to 1800 units worldwide, only 90 were made for the UK market. The original Land Rover made its debut at the Amsterdam show in 1948 and as the decades have gone by, nothing has matched the rugged and classless appeal of the brand, perhaps epitomised best by the Land Rover Defender. Legendary off road prowess, chunky yet classic and stylish good looks and approval from royalty, to farmers, to celebrities. A true British manufacturing success story.

The SVX shares its mechanical layout with the standard Defender and is powered by a four-cylinder, Ford turbodiesel engine with 2.4 litres of swept capacity. As befit of a limited edition model, it gains Recaro seats, different wheels and distinctive brightwork, including a silver coloured grilled and headlamp surround. The aesthetics are further enhanced by very subtle matt black decals set against the Santorini Black paintwork.

EQUIPMENT

Metallic paint, Alloy wheels, Soft top, External roll cage in silver, SVX edition lights, SVX edition grill, SVX edition decals, Recaro seats, Land Rover Garmin navigation, AC, heated seats, 12v socket, Cup holders, Electric windows, Spare wheel, Lockable storage box.

EXTERIOR

Brimming with a confident sense of style, the Defender 90 has never looked better than in the special edition, SVX soft top form.

The Santorini Black paintwork presents beautifully and is underscored by the subtle matte SVX decals. The special edition silver grille, light surrounds and roll cage, matched to the bright alloys, provide a sharp contrast to the dark paintwork.

The soft top is in good condition with clear windows, allowing alfresco motoring when the weather allows.

INTERIOR

Climb into the cockpit and you are greeted with a beautifully functional interior which benefits from SVX accoutrements including the very special Recaro seats, surely some of the most comfortable seating to be found in any Defender. There is little wear to report in the cabin with all switchgear in easy reach and working as it should. On proud display is the SVX limited edition plaque. This car is number 162.

Practicality is taken care of hood up or down, with a useful lockable storage box behind the two front seats.

ENGINE & TRANSMISSION

The 2.4 litre engine is reliable with a smooth seamless delivery of torque low down in the rev range, exactly what is needed with a car of this nature. The engine bay presents cleanly. The transmission works as it should, giving a feeling of go-anywhere invincibility that a full-time four-wheel drive system coupled to a dual-transfer, six-speed manual, should give

WHEELS, TYRES & BRAKES

Protected by chunky off road rubber, the alloy wheels of this example are clean and free of any damage. The tyres are the aptly named General Grabber TR in 235/85/16 and show very significant tread – ready for adventures on and off the road.

EXTERIOR
Presented in black with contrasting orange decals on the side and rear, this example of Porsche’s legendary GT3 RS is a real head-turner.

The paintwork on this example presents well, the solid black coat that is so easily prone to swirl marks has been lavished with attention from our in-house team of detailing experts to ensure a mirror finish. Orange is also used on the door mirrors and rear spoiler ends to match decals and wheels with carbon fibre shaping the huge rear wing finishing off a very fluid and pure body shape. Arguably the 997.1 the prettiest of any of the modern 911 RS specials.

Original fit ceramic brakes with yellow calipers provide the stopping power on this track special which bring it to a halt remarkably quickly and efficiently.

MODEL HISTORY

The ‘RS’ badge holds the greatest fascination for Porsche fans and has been applied sparingly to 6 generations of Porsche cars since the 70s instantly turning these machines into motoring legends.

First introduced in 1972 to homologate the 911 Carrera 2.7. Porsches focus has never changed throughout the decades and each RS car goes through a strict weight loss program focused on race series homologation or more recently, in creating the ultimate in track focused driving tools.

The 911 GT3 RS (type 997) was introduced in 2006 based on the existing GT3 and introduced as a homologation special. The RS was of course lighter, 20Kgs lighter, achieved by the use of an adjustable carbon fibre wing, a plastic engine cover and a lightweight plastic rear window. The resulting weight 1,379Kg giving the car a 300bhp per tonne power to weight ratio. The 3.6 Metzger engine from the GT3 remained unchanged but instead coupled to a close ratio 5 speed gearbox with a single mass flywheel allowing it to rev more freely.

The paint scheme and body panels were specifically designed for the RS and its new body was wider by 44mm at the rear allowing for an increase in the rear track and as such improving directional stability but also cornering grip and roll. The wheel base was also extended 5mm for further stability, all this combined with factory issued super sticky Michelin Cup tyres and increased down force from the rear wing made for a formidable road or track machine.
