Ferrari Verde

Our client wanted to finish her Defender in Ferrari Verde British Racing. The deep green paint changes character with the light: elegant yet wild, in a distinguished way. Combined with the custom 18” Lion Flat Dish Wheels and the soulfull sound of the Corvette LS3 V8, the car feels both timeless and completely untamed. 

“This project became really personal process,” says Daniel van Oort, one of the owners of The Landrovers.  “She came by regularly, experienced every stage of the build, and together we refined countless details. We were in this adventure together and that level of collaboration created something far beyond just a car.” 

Bespoke in every detail

Inside, thick vintage leather, diamond-stitched seats and door panels, subtle ambient lighting and sound system create an interior designed for long days on the road and nights that never quite go according to plan. The completely re-engineered Lion Luxury second-row bench transforms the rear cabin into a space where passengers can travel in comfort, with increased legroom and a fully adjustable rear seats. 

But what truly defines this build is not power or luxury alone, it is the feeling of freedom woven into every detail. The custom designed airplane on the back of the car, says it all. 

Technical but mostly personal

“With our new Dream Room, clients can completely immerse themselves in materials, colours, textures and design ideas,” Daniel explains. “It gives people the freedom to truly dream about what their Defender could become. It’s to us, to not only make that dream come true, but to surpass it.” 

Defender LaRovekamp was designed to do almost everything. A heavy-duty tow hitch allows the owner to transport her race car to circuits and events and her horse trailer to wherever she might roam. The additional fuel tank extends the journey far beyond the usual stops. An onboard air compressor allows the tires to be reinflated after off-road driving, or perfectly adjusted for the race car waiting behind it. To finish it off: a custom-built system in the back to safely transport two full golf bags.

The TracTive semi-active suspension adapts to changing conditions. Cruising comfortably for hours, driving through mountain passes, carrying heavy trailer loads or tackling rough terrain, it does it all. Together with the winch bumper and high-definition LED bars, the Defender is prepared for wherever curiosity leads next. 

SC.7 Skyvan

And then there is the detail nobody forgets. Integrated into the rear window is the silhouette of an SC.7 Skyvan, the owner’s favourite aircraft, the same plane from which she once skydived. It captures the entire spirit of the build and the owner’s nature: fearless, adventurous and deeply personal. 

“The most beautiful moment for me,” Daniel says, “was receiving videos from her during an off-road trip. You could see the concentration, the excitement, the huge smile on her face. That’s when you realise this Defender is doing exactly what it was built for. It’s being lived in.”
