Chelsea Truck Co. has  unveiled a special custom Land Rover Defender Bigfoot. In a statement, Chelsea Truck Co. shares the following regarding its latest creation:

The Land Rover Defender is the true “people’s car.” With pragmatic sensibilities and no-nonsense styling that appeals to pretty much everyone, everywhere, the Defender can be found right the way from Sunset Strip to your local gravel pit.

However, If you want a truly special edition, The Chelsea Truck Company has transformed the regular model to something that would appeal to the CIA’s head honcho.

Suave, debonair, elegant; the heavily beefed up Volcanic Rock Satin Big Foot edition would be the perfect fit for a Bond villain, affording them a better chance of survival, in the shadowy, yet glamorous world of international espionage.

Perhaps the most obvious part of the transformation is the use of huge 5 x 10×16” 5 Spoke Tubler Steel Wheels in Satin Black (Beadlock), complete with 5 x 37” Maxxis Trepador Extreme Off Road Tyres, greatly improving the ride over a standard Defender.

Chelsea Truck Co.’s Land Rover Defender Bigfoot rework boasts Russian Blue leather, hand-stitched materials, Blue Harris Tweed, machined aluminum, a striking Cromax paint finish, “SATNAV and DAB System with Full Facia Surround” and more.
