V8 PERFORMANCE
CHOICE OF 5 INSTALLS - 355 BHP Manual - 650 BHP Automatic
Since 1988 we have always been unable to resist the temptation to enhance the LR Defender in so many ways. Style and comfort enhancements always follow our engineering expertise to totally transform the Defender driving experience. This has led to so many years installing and converting the Land Rover Defender to make more power and torque to reconfigure the way it feels and drives. In the early years it was always about Turbo Diesel Intercooler installs, however for the past 10 years all those years of engineering and electrical experience have put us in such a great place to develop and offer what we have today. A range of 5 petrol V8 installs to suit a wide range of clients, their unique special Defenders and of course make so much more of what is such an iconic retro classic vehicle. For those that feel they just can’t move away from the Diesels, we also have a great range of performance, comfort and driving upgrades to make you feel that you have just got into a new Defender, vast improvements from the one that was left with the Nene team. Please enjoy further information, pricing and advice. We are always on hand to help and advise on the best V8 install solution for you, or of course discuss a full build and supply, as we continue to hold one of the largest inventories of quality used LR Defenders in the UK. Ready to begin your journey. We often supply, build and ship to clients worldwide so please catch up soon with your requirements. Please see our menu of 5 GM petrol V8 installs including 6 and 8 speed automatic transmissions plus 6 speed manual installs.
There is no other company that offers the choice and scope to give our clients the right solution for their Defender. Unlike most who still continue to persevere with the LS3 we took the decision to continue to push the envelope, investing huge time and resources to develop a range of the more modern GM 5.3 and 6.2 litre V8 engines, giving both 6 speed manual and 8 speed automatic rather than the older 6 speed auto you find with the LS 3. Your driving experience is so much smoother with further performance gained from slicker, smoother gear change from the 8 speed auto or for those who just love that manual change experience try our 5.3 V8 manual solution. Please enquire for further help and advice or make an appointment to test drive at our Peterborough facility.
