JAGUAR LAND ROVER CLASSIC AT GOODWOOD REVIVAL
CLASSIC DEFENDER V8
The vehicle that started it all. The world's most iconic 4x4, made bespoke.
A new arrival from Land Rover Classic made its public debut at the West Sussex event. The Classic Defender V8 by Works Bespoke represented the pinnacle of personalisation as part of a new programme for clients, giving them the opportunity to create their dream Classic Defender with an unrivalled choice of exterior and interior finishes – visualised by a new digital Land Rover Classic configurator tool. Perfect for adventurers, enthusiasts, and collectors, the Classic Defender V8 was available to order from Land Rover Classic.
JAGUAR LAND ROVER CLASSIC AT GOODWOOD REVIVAL
MK2 SALOON RACING DEBUT
For the first time, Jaguar Classic raced at the Revival meeting, entering the St Mary’s Trophy with a 3.8‑litre Mk2 saloon prepared by the team at Classic Works.
Jaguar TCS Racing Reserve and Test Driver, Joel Eriksson, raced the dark blue 1963 Jaguar Mk2 saloon. The Swiss driver was paired with multiple Le Mans Series race winner and Goodwood regular, Nic Minassian, from France. Joel raced with Nic in the hotly-contested two-part encounter, with Nic driving on Saturday, and Joel on Sunday.
This particular 3.8-litre XK-powered Mk2 had previously raced at both Goodwood Revival and Members’ Meeting. It was acquired by Jaguar Classic earlier this year, and the team recently completed an extensive rebuild of the car in preparation for this year’s Revival.

QUEEN'S DEFENDER ON ACTIVE SERVICE
Red Cross crews are on active service with Defender in North Wales, helping support people in difficult-to-reach communities such as the Snowdonia mountains, Lleyn Peninsula and Isle of Anglesey.
Their converted Defender 130 was donated to the British Red Cross by JLR to commemorate Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II’s Platinum Jubilee.
THE WORDS THAT CHANGED THE WORLD
Reminders of Land Rover’s legacy are judiciously placed around the Islay Edition’s cabin. This includes a plaque adjacent to the gearshift that tells the story of how the Land Rover name was born.
DISTILLED DETAILS
Reinforcing the link back to Islay Edition’s Hebridean heritage, the removable console tray – complete with leather tabs – features the oak of whisky barrels sourced from the local Kilchoman Distillery. Spencer Wilks’ granddaughter Kathy Wills established the distillery with her husband, Anthony, in 2005.
Within each tray, a unique wooden disc replicating the end of a whisky barrel showcases the vehicle as one of 30 limited edition examples marking 75 years of Land Rover.
Completing the meticulous interior story, oak wood veneer detailing extends to the rear loadspace floor and clock on the centre console.
