Land Rover Defender 110 Expedition 160bhp 2.2 TD Station Wagon 5dr Registered January 2013 (62 Reg) Finished in Havana Pearl Grey with Black Cloth Interior | Land Rover enthusiasts, who dreamed of overland expeditions into the wilds of the African bush, using only the most reliable components and upgrades. | First on the agenda for the expedition conversion - which became known as ‘The Melville and Moon’ build owing to the owners’ admiration for the luxury safari furniture brand of the same name - was to send the Land Rover to overland specialist Alu-Cab in Cape Town. There, in August 2016, it was given the most significant upgrade - fitting of the Icarus roof conversion. The original roof was replaced to provide a two-berth pop-up tent; one which was accessible from inside the vehicle, which was crucial given the predators that the owners might come across. At the same time, Alu-Cab installed a platform for the fridge/freezer, vinyl flooring; a Gobi X rear bumper with twin carriers for a spare wheel and Gobi X jerry can bracket. An Alu-Cab 270-degree Shadow Awning was also fitted to provide much-needed shade from the African sun | the ARB winch compatible front bumper was installed, along with a WARN winch, long-range fuel tank, powerpoint for camping equipment, and dual battery fitment. The suspension was upgraded with airbag helpers and a steering damper, Stone guards were fitted for the steering components and front differential, the snorkel was installed, and a high-lift jack and mountings were also added | It received a significant bespoke fit-out of the rear section featuring custom side and rear drawer systems, a flat deck in the loading bay with space below for a lockable Alu-Cab drawer, a custom storage tray behind the seats, and black powder-coated panels to replace the rear windows. A Victron 375-watt inverter with 220-volt outlet was installed, along with an LED work light, Victron 15-amp battery charger, and Furrion shore-power input with a 10-metre extension. An Icom VHF radio was also fitted | R&D Offroad installed Old Man Emu sport shock absorbers, along with a new Terrafirma double-shock mounting system, to add to the Terrafirma springs and integrated adjustable airbags | side ‘gullwing’ lockers, the fridge/freezer itself, long-range water tanks, an external camping tap, solar panels, an internal LED lighting system, and even a rear door mounted BBQ (or ‘Braai’). Off-road focused additions also incorporated twin long-range fuel tanks, driving lamps, an external ladder, roof-mounted shovel, MaxTrax recovery boards/sand ladders, external gas bottle mount, and a reversing camera | THE JOURNEY OF THIS LANDIE: The adventurous couple enjoyed their custom Defender over three or four years, taking regular trips to South Africa with the Land Rover proving itself as a rugged home-from-home. In total, they clocked up around 40,000 kms (~25,000 miles) on trips into Botswana, Namibia and Zimbabwe. In between the owners’ visits, it would be serviced and stored at Gateway Off-Road, with occasional enhancements added, ready for the next adventure..
