When you’re a revered brand like Orvis or Barbour and you’re launching a new Land Rover Defender Collection of clothing, there’s only one way to do it—with a custom Land Rover Defender that will travel the country for launch events. Those two brands teamed up with the one and only East Coast Defender to create something that’s familiar and iconic while still being completely new thanks to a few key upgrades. Project Barbour has all the usual East Coast Defender touches that make it a modern driving marvel built out of a vintage carcass (rebuilt V8, 5-speed manual transmission, high-end audio, MOMO steering, etc., etc.), but it’s the detailing like the Saddle Leather and the Barbour Tartan inserts on the seats and door pockets, along with the Coniston Green paint job that truly set this Defender apart from others. The only way to make this perfect ECD x Barbour x Orvis crossover any better was if you had a chance to win it for free. Luckily for you, you can by entering the Barbour Defender Sweepstakes here.
