GAME FOR ANYTHING
Just when you thought it was safe to go back on your television, the spectre of Games of Thrones continues to loom large in the shape of this battle hardened but still very elegant Defender 110
In last month’s issue, we took a look at a stupendously cool early Land Rover 110 soft-top that had been
remanufactured into the ultimate beach runner by the guys at Legacy Overland. It had just the right level of
bling, just the right level of restraint, an engine to love (the original 2.5 petrol) and a beautiful coat of green paint.
Now here’s another 110 – and another coat of the same green paint. Coniston Green, which will be familiar to anyone
who’s ever bought a Defender from new, but with a magnificent deep gloss finish that won’t.
Two similar 110s, then – but very different, too. This one’s a Station Wagon rather than a ragtop, and it’s left-hand drive – which is a bit ironic, because the American one was a right-hooked whereas this Land Rover is the work of Arkonik, the Somerset-based Defender restorer whose high-end refurbishments continue to fi nd an eager market on the
far side of the Atlantic.
Now, Somerset is not The North. But the 110’s name might put you in mind of all that. Dorne, Westeros, King’s Landing, Winterfell, The North… all places we became familiar with during the eight-year reign (honestly, it really was only eight years) of Game of Thrones.
