"Land Rover's history is filled with vehicles that embody both rugged endurance and understated luxury, and few stories are more emblematic than that of UKE 80 - the 1954 Series I Land Rover once owned by Sir Winston Churchill. In paying homage to this unique piece of automotive history, Land Rover Classic has introduced the Defender V8 Churchill Edition, a meticulously crafted tribute that blends heritage with contemporary engineering."
"While the look and feel of the Churchill Edition are firmly rooted in history, its performance tells a very different story. Beneath the classic exterior lies a 5.0-liter V8 engine, paired with an eight-speed automatic transmission, delivering the kind of power and precision expected of a modern Defender. This pairing ensures that while the Churchill Edition looks every bit the part of a vintage vehicle, it performs with contemporary agility and responsiveness."
UKE 80, the 1954 Series I Land Rover once owned by Sir Winston Churchill, inspired the Defender V8 Churchill Edition. The edition recreates mid-century aesthetics with Bronze Green paint, steel wheels, and zinc-plated exterior details. The cabin features Bottle Green trim that echoes Churchill's original vehicle while providing modern comfort. Powertrain upgrades include a 5.0-liter V8 engine mated to an eight-speed automatic transmission for contemporary agility and responsiveness. Production is strictly limited to ten examples aimed at collectors and enthusiasts. Multiple configurations are available to suit different preferences.
