Ragnar · A Custom Land Rover Defender D110 A custom Land Rover Defender 110 in Zeus Bronze, purpose-built for Chris in Washington, Connecticut, for the long way across a continent. Featured here as a reference. Not for sale.

Built for one owner, and one kind of journey.

Ragnar was built for Chris, and for exactly what Chris intends to do with it. He had real trips planned, long ones, out west, a camera in the passenger seat and his dog in the back. So we built nothing he did not need, and everything he did. If a part did not earn its place, it was left off. Purpose, not decoration.

Because the routes he had in mind run deep into the backcountry of Colorado, Utah, and Montana, range mattered more than noise. Ragnar runs our performance-tuned 300 TDI, a proprietary tune that lifts power by forty-two percent while still returning twenty-seven to thirty-one miles per gallon. It is the choice that lets him leave the pavement behind and keep going. The original block stays. It is still numbers matching.

Inside, a single color of Scottish leather, tanned to order, because restraint suited him better than contrast. Chris is a tall man, so the seat, console, steering column, and pedals were built to his frame rather than to a standard. Even the cargo area was designed around his dog, with extra insulation and padding for the miles ahead. And then there is the color. Zeus Bronze does not sit still. It gathers whatever is around it, green under trees, gold at dusk, near grey under cloud, so the truck looks like a different vehicle on every road. It is one of the most extraordinary finishes we make.
