007 Heaven

OOKERS Land Rover Colchester has handed over the keys to a brand-new world-exclusive Land Rover Defender V8. Featuring a number of bespoke ‘007’ details (including badging, puddle lamps, treadplates and animations), this highly sought-after limited edition is one of just 15 in the UK (including five Defender 90 and ten Defender 110 body styles) and one of only 300 available worldwide. The lucky owner is businessman Marlon Dias who is, as you might have guessed, a huge Bond fan. He said: “I’m absolutely over the moon with the new Defender 007. From the moment I heard some of them were coming to the UK, I wanted to do everything I could do to get my hands on a piece of automotive and movie history. I’m proud to be the new owner of this outstanding head-turner and I look forward to many years of great driving ahead.”
