Tuxedo-Dressed Land Rover Defender Arrives From Heritage Customs
by AutoExpert | 11 October, 2021
Heritage Customs just introduced the Valiance Tuxedo Black, a new project based on a Land Rover Defender.
While a fresh coat of paint isn't enough to set the Valiance apart from a stock Defender, Heritage Customs has added a large roof rack and a small ladder to the Land Rover's side.
The Valiance also has a gear carrier mounted on the side and rides on 22-inch forged alloy wheels as standard equipment. The wheels are finished in Tuxedo Black, but customers can choose between a diamond-cut or a matte black finish for theirs. There are also 19-inch and 20-inch wheels currently offered.
Heritage Customs also altered the interior of the Land Rover Defender. Metal pedals have been installed, and the steering wheel and lower center console, dash, speaker covers, and door handles have all been painted Tuxedo Black to match the rest of the interior.
Heritage Customs co-owner Jan-Pieter Kroezen said in a statement: "This covert Heritage Customs Valiance Tuxedo Black was designed for a client who believed the world was not enough. With our newest forged wheel design, it's a standout. The 22-inch Supersonic wheels match the exterior paint's Tuxedo Black shade. Also, the interior of this Valiance has undergone a thorough makeover, with the Tuxedo Black color scheme running throughout."
