Project 007

Project 007 — Preservation Series Overland Adventure Defender

Project 007 is a 1996 Land Rover Defender 90 300Tdi, finished in iconic Arles Blue, and part of our exclusive Preservation Series. This means the vehicle remains unrestored, retaining its original charm and integrity, but has been extensively maintained and enhanced for performance, reliability, and off-grid capability. In remarkable condition throughout, this Defender has been carefully built into the ultimate adventure and expedition vehicle.

A Name with Legacy — 007 in Spectre
The name Project 007 isn’t just for show. This Defender actually made a brief but authentic appearance as a support vehicle in the James Bond film Spectre. If you watch closely, you’ll spot this very Defender on-screen—making it not only an overland icon, but also a piece of cinematic history. A true Bond-worthy vehicle, blending rugged capability with a touch of legacy and mystique.

Adventure-Ready Features
Purpose-built to thrive in the wild, Project 007 includes:

• 4-man rooftop tent for elevated sleeping space
• Side-mounted awning for rapid deployment shelter
• Heavy-duty roof rack for expedition gear and supplies
• Soon to be fitted with a full panoramic glass kit for increased comfort and visibility
• Six-seat interior with one side of the rear bench folding into a compact sleeping bed
• Diesel night heater for cold weather camping
• Auxiliary battery and split charge system to support off-grid power and devices

Proven Mechanical Performance
Powered by the robust 2.5L Turbo Diesel 300Tdi engine and mated to a manual R380 5-speed transmission, Project 007 offers bulletproof reliability. It features permanent 4WD, with an LT230 transfer box and 1:4 low range ratio—perfect for navigating harsh terrain or remote trails.

All key preventative maintenance has been professionally completed, meaning this Defender isn’t just built for adventure—it’s ready to start it now.

Summary
