Alcantara headline through the entire ceiling. Exmoor Trim carpeting, a Momo 3-spoke steering wheel, and chrome accents add retro charm and warmth. Everything works as it should, from the heater and lights to the wipers and gauges. With its left-hand drive layout, this Defender delivers a true British driving experience.
