Land Rover & fashion designer Paul Smith unveil a one-off Defender

Land Rover and fashion designer Sir Paul Smith have teamed up to create a one-off Defender.

Created with the assistance of Land Rover's Special Vehicle Operations design team, the one-off models has 27 different exterior colors as well as satin accents on the mirrors, door handles and wheels.  There's also a hand-painted bee on the roof which is a "tongue-in-cheek reference to the countryside and the heritage of the car."

The unique styling continues in the cabin as there's leather and fabric seats with blue contrast stitching.  The model also has a leather-wrapped dashboard and a revised clock with a Paul Smith fascia.

According to Smith, "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."
