Defender 110 TD5 Spectre Replica (0006 GJK)
This piece captures one of the most cinematic Defenders ever created — a meticulously built replica of the menacing pursuit vehicles from the 2015 James Bond film Spectre. Rendered in deep blacks and reflective blue greys against a watercolour wash of conifer green, snow blue and explosive hues, the vehicle emerges from the alpine slopes like something built for high-stakes drama.
In Spectre, ten specially modified Defender 110 double cabs tore through the Austrian Alps in one of cinema's most thrilling chase sequences, driven by the film's antagonists before Bond famously destroyed them with a low-flying aircraft. Only seven survived the filming. Today, a provenanced original commands up to £240,000 — instantly making these among the most sought-after Defenders in existence.
This 2007 TD5 replica answers that demand. Built on a late-registered, low-mileage platform, it faithfully recreates every aggressive detail: the integrated roll cage and roof rack, 35-inch Maxxis tyres on wide arches, front-mounted Warn winch, KBX front-end treatment, and that iconic rope arrangement draped across the bonnet. The 2-inch lift, polybushed suspension, Recaro leather seats, and NAS-spec rear step all speak to a build that balances screen-accurate presence with genuine capability.
Painting this vehicle feels like capturing a moment where fiction and function collide — a machine born from Hollywood spectacle yet built to tackle real terrain. The watercolour washes — storm greys, midnight blues, and asphalt blacks — echo the drama and menace of its on-screen origins, while the careful detailing reflects the craftsmanship of its transformation. It's a tribute to the Defender's versatility: equally at home on a film set or a mountain pass, always commanding attention, always ready for the next adventure.
