LIVE24SEVEN // Motoring, Sport & Entertainment GLOUC E S T E R LANDROV E R Born-Again Defender When Gloucester Landrover work their magic, an icon is Reborn
This coffee tastes good this morning, perhaps it’s the way that new waitress made it – or maybe everything just seems a little fresher in the autumnal air? Best start reading the paper anyway… wait, what’s that driving past?
It looks like a… Like a step back to the Nineties? Like the best Defender you’ve ever seen? Or maybe you’ve just seen what you want to be parked on your driveway for the next 25 years.
You’ll have seen these icons roaming the likes of Cockleford or Chedworth, and in the past you may have thought they look a little tired or unloved. But this Defender you’ve just seen changes everything. And that’s because it’s a Defender Reborn. Gloucester Landrover is the midwife responsible for delivering such a creation. If you ask them, they’ll say that, “Land Rover don’t make Defenders any more – but we do.”
What they make, however, is down to you. The idea is simple: they take a Defender that maybe 25 years old, let their skilled technicians run their knowledge over the vehicle, and the result is a Defender that will last for another 25 years.
You can supply the vehicle yourself, but it’s no secret that good Defenders are getting harder to find, and with Gloucester Landrover they are more than happy to source the right Land Rover for you.
So this Reborn service – how does it all happen?Well, first of all, they strip back the Defender to its chassis, sandblast it and then apply primer and protective measures, using the increasingly popular Raptor coating system.

At least they will if you want them to. You see, the decision as to how extensive the treatment will be on your Defender rests solely with you. Gloucester Landrover will of course recommend the replacement or refurbishment of components deemed unfit to be in your presence. However, whether you have a full body-off rebuild or a thorough mechanical spring clean, it’s completely up to you.
Once the basis has been perfected, effectively a menu system follows to help you decide what you want your dream Defender to become. A different exterior colour, new seats and a plusher interior, or maybe you just want your Defender to look like it did in 1998 Gloucester Landrover can make it happen
With all Land Rover Defenders now being classics in their own right, preserving the one you have on your drive, or buying one for the road ahead, may not just bring short-term benefits. In any case, Gloucester Landrover will ensure you have a Defender worthy of icon status.
Equally, if you don’t want the full Reborn service, Gloucester Landrover can simply rub a little bit of fairy dust over your Land Rover and cater for your general maintenance and servicing needs.
Food for thought. Now finish your coffee and start dreaming of your very own Reborn Defender sitting waiting outside the café for you. Just remember, though, with Gloucester Landrover it needn’t be a dream…
