This is the only Land Rover Defender in the world painted in Lamborghini's signature Verde Mantis color. This Defender was used for work for the first 25 years of its life before it was taken to E.C.D Automotive Design for a full restoration.

E.C.D Automotive Design began by completely reworking the engine of the Land Rover Defender. The engine has been replaced by a 6.2-liter naturally-aspirated LT1 V8 from GM, which is mated to an eight-speed automatic gearbox. This engine produces 450 horsepower and 465 pound-feet of torque. The new motor comes standard with better axles, an air ride suspension, Brembo brakes, and a Borla stainless steel exhaust.

Exteriorly, a black convertible roof contrasts with the green color. Along with the new LED daytime running lights and a redesigned rear bumper, the tuner added a set of Kahn wheels and a traditional Land Rover grille. After a complete remodeling of the inside, the car currently features 2+2+2 seats. The heated Recaro Cross Sportster CS seats in the first and second rows are a nice feature to have in the revamped Land Rover Defender.

Other highlights include updated gauges, a Sony infotainment system, Infinity Kappa speakers, Bluetooth, WiFi, reversing sensors, front and rear cameras, blind-spot assistance, and wireless charging.
