Land Rover is marking its 60th anniversary with the special edition Defender SVX model, which goes on sale in Australia in the second half of 2008. The iconic Defender still bears a strong visual resemblance to its 1948 predecessor, but inside the SVX model boasts an array of modern comforts and features, such as satellite navigation, Recaro seats and iPod compatibility.

While most of the Defenders produced each year are working tools for everyone from farmers to aid agencies, the 60th anniversary SVX special edition model is the most stylish and feature-packed version that Land Rover has ever produced.

With metallic black paintwork, the Defender SVX will be available as a seven-seat 110 station wagon.  Each model will come fitted with an individually numbered plaque. New exterior features include a re-styled grille surround, tubular side-steps, unique alloy wheels, reinforced aluminium front undershield, clear-lens headlamps and LED reverse/rear fog lights.

Continuing the distinctive look, the interior of the SVX is equipped with custom-designed Recaro front seats, machined alloy gear knobs, a new audio system (with subwoofer and USB socket), iPod compatibility and Garmin satellite navigation.

A total of 1,800 Defender 110 SVX will be produced worldwide, with a limited quantity making it to Australian shores. Pricing for the Defender 110 SVX is $62,990* RRP.
