Land Rover has teamed up with famous designer, Paul Smith, to create a once-off Defender.

The Defender in question features 27 different exterior colours and was built with the help of Land Rover’s new Special Vehicle Operations team.

On the inside it has leather seats with blue contrast stitching, a leather dashboard and a fancy clock.

“The Defender is a British icon, which is something I’m exceptionally proud of.   I keep a Defender at my home in Italy which is in the middle of the countryside, so it’s the perfect vehicle to cope with the rugged terrain,” said Smith.
