Unveiling the Ultimate Land Rover Defender 130: A Masterpiece of Custom Engineering

Prepare to be amazed by the latest creation from Helderberg, a custom-built Land Rover Defender 130 that pushes the boundaries of automotive excellence. This stunning vehicle, crafted for a discerning client named Tom, combines rugged capability with luxurious refinement in a package that’s sure to turn heads wherever it goes.

A Color That Commands Attention

The first thing you’ll notice about this Defender 130 is its breathtaking color. Inspired by the classic Range Rover Bahama Gold, Helderberg’s team has elevated this hue to new heights. The result is a shade that’s both nostalgic and modern, perfectly complementing the Defender’s iconic silhouette.

Performance That Excites

Under the hood, this 130 boasts a turbo diesel engine with Helderberg’s exclusive performance tune, ensuring it has more than enough power for any adventure. The custom exhaust system, featuring a 3-inch stainless steel design, not only enhances performance but also provides a satisfying auditory experience.

Off-Road Ready

This Defender isn’t just about looks – it’s built to tackle the toughest terrain. With nearly 3 inches of lift, progressive coil springs, and air lockers for both front and rear differentials, it’s ready for extreme off-roading. The functional snorkel isn’t just for show; it’s perfect for dusty ranch roads or water crossings.

Attention to Detail

Every aspect of this build showcases Helderberg’s commitment to quality:

• A custom-designed front bumper that’s truly one-of-a-kind
• A bespoke winch from Red Winch UK, featuring hand-milled billet aluminum components
• Helderberg statement headlights with a unique broken beam design
• Full-length roof rack with plans for a spare tire mount
• Custom Helderberg brakes, intercooler, and other performance enhancements

Interior Comfort

Inside, the Defender offers a perfect blend of luxury and functionality. The two-tone chocolate and black interior provides a sophisticated atmosphere, while the upcoming high-fidelity audio system with an 11-inch touchscreen ensures top-notch entertainment on the go.

Built to Last

What sets Helderberg apart is their dedication to proper restoration techniques. This Defender features:

• A new bulkhead (firewall) to prevent future rust issues
• New B-pillars for structural integrity
• A meticulous paint process that includes multiple stages of priming, painting, and clear coating for a durable, show-quality finish

This Land Rover Defender 130 by Helderberg isn’t just a vehicle – it’s a work of art that’s ready for any adventure. Whether cruising through city streets or exploring remote wilderness, this custom creation proves that with the right vision and expertise, the classic Defender platform can be elevated to extraordinary new heights.
