Project Rebel II

1992 Land Rover Defender 90 - 200Tdi - Urban Explorer

The Base Restoration

This 1992 Land Rover Defender 90 came to us from a local Maxxis Tyre dealership.  They used it for deliveries and for picking up stranded customers.  It had a crazy vinyl wrap covering most of the Defender, so we didn’t even know what it would look like when we took it off.

A Timeless Classic

We wanted to make a second generation of our Rebel Defender 90 Series – which was designed to be a rugged Urban Explorer Defender.  But with this version we wanted to take it to the next level by adding 4-wheel discs, aggressive MT tyres, and front/rear ARB air lockers.  We went with a deep Santorini Black finish and a set of panoramic side windows.

Heritage + Style

The 200Tdi engine was stripped bare, rebuilt, detailed, and re-assembled.  We wanted the Defender to look just as good as it could mechanically as it did visually.  The resulting combination is vehicle that can go from the deep trails to the cocktail bar without hesitation.

Continuing The Rebel Line

When you drive a unique and rebellious car like a Land Rover Defender named Rebel, you feel liberated. Instead of the same boring cars your friends drive, you can stand out from the crowd with a vehicle that expresses your individuality. With its rugged design, but refined features, this car will take you on an adventure-filled journey full of fun and excitement. You’ll be able to go off-roading and explore places other people wouldn’t dream of going in their regular vehicles – all while looking distinguished. As a rebel behind the wheel of a Defender, you’ll be unstoppable.
