Project Overlander: a.k.a Rocky

Preservation Project with Automatic Conversion

The Platform

1994 Land Rover Defender 110 300Tdi – Custom Automatic Conversion Package from Bishop+Rook.

The Concept

We wanted to build something that had an aggressive look, but also performed just as well on the highway as it would on the byways.

The Build

Aggressive tyres, roof rack, off-road lights, preservationist re-spray, and an automatic conversion.

Project Overlander (aka: Rocky)

We built this Land Rover Defender 110 300Tdi to serve as a capable overland rig. We performed a sympathetic restoration of the interior to maintain the originality of the vehicle, but we completely refreshed the mechanical elements of the Defender – while converting it to an automatic transmission using our custom Bishop+Rook conversion kit.
