A Defender Like No Other
Step inside “Max,” one of Helderburg’s personal Defenders, and you’ll immediately sense the difference. While the Defender 90 is renowned for its utilitarian roots, this particular example elevates the experience with bespoke craftsmanship and premium materials. Forget rubber floor mats and basic interiors—here, you’re greeted by the rich aroma of leather and the plush feel of square wheat wool carpeting, bound in supple leather reminiscent of classic Aston Martins. Every detail, from the leather-wrapped A-pillars and sun visors to the rear speaker enclosures and lower door panels, exudes sophistication and comfort.
Classic Design, Modern Performance

The center-facing rear benches, a hallmark of the classic Defender, offer not just practicality but a sense of camaraderie and adventure. Passengers love the unique seating arrangement, which maximizes space and captures the authentic Defender spirit—something even those unfamiliar with the model instantly recognize and appreciate.
On the outside, Max stuns with a rare medium metallic blue finish—a classic Porsche color with a gray-blue undertone and a subtle metallic highlight. Paired with a dark brown soft top and marbled leather interior, this Defender is a visual masterpiece that turns heads wherever it goes.
Power and Capability
Under the hood, this Defender is anything but ordinary. Powered by a 300 TDI turbo diesel engine with a VNT turbo, larger intercooler, and custom-built injection pump, it delivers exhilarating performance. The five-speed manual transmission and Goodyear Wrangler mud-terrain tires ensure you’re ready for both spirited highway cruising and off-road adventures. Whether you’re zipping up to 70 mph on a country road or dreaming of rolling down a sandy beach with the top off, this Defender is built for excitement and versatility.
