LAND ROVER DEFENDER 13O RIVOLVE editon 5.3 V8

The Nene Overland and Rivolve teams are absolutely thrilled to present this ultra-exclusive, heavily modified Land Rover Defender 130 Double Cab Hi-Capacity Pick Up (HCPU). This vehicle represents something extremely special. It originally arrived at our workshop as an exceptionally clean, highly desirable, privately owned truck. Because it was in such pristine condition, it provided our build team with the perfect blank canvas. We have since transformed it into the ultimate high-performance utility truck you see today, wearing the ultra-rare, iconic heritage shade of flat Keswick Green.

The odometer records a remarkably low, verified distance of only 50,972 miles from new. Underneath the classic bodywork sits our signature 355 bhp 5.3-litre petrol V8 engine conversion, giving this heavy-duty 130 sports-car performance matched with an intoxicating exhaust note. Because this bespoke masterpiece is highly exclusive and occasionally out on promotional events, it is not always physically on-site at our main showroom. Therefore, viewings and detailed physical inspections remain strictly by prior appointment only.

High-Performance V8 Engine & Drivetrain:

355 BHP 5.3L Petrol V8 Conversion: Our master technicians have fully installed our signature 5.3-litre petrol V8 powerplant into the engine bay. This high-performance engine produces a fierce 355 brake horsepower for effortless power delivery.
Upgraded 6-Speed Manual Gearbox: A heavy-duty, uprated 6-speed manual transmission handles the massive V8 engine torque flawlessly. Consequently, the setup retains an engaging, mechanical driving experience on the road.
Rivolve Quad-Exit Exhaust System: The engine breathes through our custom-fabricated quad-exit performance exhaust system. Therefore, this system beautifully unlocks the deep, rich rumble of the naturally aspirated V8 powertrain.

Bespoke Rivolve Exterior Trim & Styling:

Premium Bowler 18” Sports Alloys: The chassis rides on a set of aggressive 18” Bowler multi-spoke sports alloy wheels. These high-end wheels perfectly modernise the truck's stance and improve highway handling dynamics.
High-Output Front Bumper Lighting: The front sports bumper features fully integrated Lazer 750R high-performance driving lights. These premium lights work alongside upgraded LED front headlights for ultimate night-time safety.
Modern Stealth Lighting Upgrades: A full complement of smoked light lenses upgrades the side indicators, marker lights, brake lights, and rear turn signals. This subtle change provides a cohesive, highly contemporary look.
Heavy-Duty Chassis Protection: Robust metal rock-slider side sill protector bars guard the lower door panels against off-road impacts. Additionally, heavy-duty black Land Rover checker plate panels armor the top faces of the front wings.
Bespoke Rivolve Styling Accents: The front fascia features our premium Rivolve Sport Wagon front grille kit. Furthermore, a matching black Rivolve air conditioning cowl updates the passenger-side wing face.

Tailored Luxury 6-Seater Interior Cabin:

Custom Saddle Leather Upholstery: The entire cabin layout features a premium re-trim in our exquisite, beautiful saddle leather. This high-end upholstery covers all seating surfaces, adding unmatched luxury and comfort.
Retro Classic 6-Seater Layout: The front layout houses our tailored retro classic bucket seats. Crucially, our team integrated a custom matching center front seat. Consequently, up to six occupants can enjoy this amazing V8 truck together.
Vintage Cockpit Controls: The driver interacts with a beautiful retro classic wooden-rimmed sports steering wheel. This touch completely enhances the nostalgic heritage driving aesthetic inside the cabin.
Stinger Large-Screen Infotainment: The dashboard houses an upgraded, massive Stinger touchscreen media entertainment center. This high-end unit features integrated Apple CarPlay for seamless smartphone connectivity and navigation.
