This particular example, named HUE 166 because it is finished to recall the first ever production Land Rover from 1948, which wore the registration number HUE 166. Consequently, this example is finished in a light green color, called Grasmere Green, although it has a pearlescent effect which definitely was not part of the original Land Rover’s specification. Also not part of the original 1948’s Land Rover’s specification is the 650hp supercharged V8, an LT4 unit sourced from a Corvette, backed by an automatic transmission. This is just the start of the modifications, which while nominally based on a 1992 Defender, retains little of the original systems. For example, a new frame with Dynatrac axles and four link coilover suspension was employed, while inside, a full Puma dash was fitted, which was otherwise available only in 2007 and later Defenders. Brembo brakes at all four corners handle retardation. The interior received full custom treatment, as did the exterior, which is relatively restrained and features a vintage series style grille as further acknowledgment of the Land Rovers of yore. In all, it required four years to develop and build, and has covered 4,300 miles since it was completed.
