The best colour for a Defender is Grasmere Green with mud
21 Jul 2023|2,840 views
To celebrate 75 years of the Defender, arguably one of the most iconic off-roaders that you can buy, Land Rover came up with the 75th Limited Edition. Dressed in an iconic Grasmere Green, it is inspired by the original Series 1 Land Rover, which was painted with military surplus aircraft cockpit paint.
Apart from the exclusive historical colour, JLR dressed the 75th Limited Edition Defenders up with unique '75 Years' graphics and other little details. On my recent drive with JLR to Malaysia, I got to experience the 75th Limited Edition Defender 110, and I've got to say, it is a charming piece of machinery.
The original Land Rover was painted with military surplus paint, and wore various shades of light green

Filth makes a normal car worse, but mud makes a Defender better
The light, pastel green that is Grasmere Green works amazingly on the Defender. After all, it is designed with plenty of elements that have been brought over from the past models - its iconic shape is immediately recognisable, and its head and taillights are abstract, modernised counterparts to the original ones.
Like the original Land Rovers, the Defender is made for off-roading and can do so with ease. And what's better proof than using these cars to do what they are intended for and let the mud on the body panels do the talking! I think you'll agree with me that Grasmere Green looks best like this!
The 20-inch alloys gets the same Grasmere Green treatment
Specially-designed '75 Years' graphics can be found on this limited edition Defender
The 75th Limited Edition Defender is the one you want
Aside from the pleasant colour JLR included quite a few nice components on these limited-edition Defenders. Available in 90 and 110 body styles, these are offered locally with the P400 drivetrain option, giving you 395bhp and 550Nm of torque from a 3.0-litre, six-cylinder turbocharged engine.

More Grasmere Green goodness!
Inside, you'll find the lovely shade of green, accompanied by laser-etched details of the 75 Years graphics on the end caps of the Cross Bar Beam. The infotainment system is also upgraded to the 11.4-inch Pivi Pro, sporting a squarish aspect ratio, resulting in a touch screen that looks much larger.
On the exterior you'll find uniquely designed 75 Years graphics along with five-spoke 20-inch alloy wheels that are also painted in the same Grasmere Green to match the body of these Defenders.
On the road, off the road, declines, inclines, or just a nice smooth highway cruise, the 75th Limited Edition Defender 110 can do it all
Does it work as well as it looks?
After driving the 75th Limited Edition Defender 110 on my recent trip, I've got to say it sure is versatile. As it was my first experience with a Defender, I wasn't sure what to expect. Having driven other off-road oriented vehicles (in my NS days), I was half expecting the on-road experience to be a poor one - loose and vague steering feel, and unstable at speed. The Defender was none of that - it's steering was taut and communicative, stability at highway speeds is good, and with the 3.0-litre engine, there was plenty of power to get the large off-roader up to speed with ease.
The Defender looks best in its element - out in the wilderness, and preferably with some mud on it
Off the road, the clever all-wheel drive system with electronic active differential and two-speed transfer box makes light work of the loose and uneven terrain. I was told that the Defenders are tested and are able to scale inclines up to 45 degrees! While the steepest incline that we experienced at the Tangga 7 hill during our off-roading experience was merely 15 degrees, it was sufficient to display the off-roading capabilities of these cars.
With its iconic and unique paint, the 75th Limited Edition Land Rover is instantly recognisable from among the line up of Defenders. I think I would be inclined towards it if I were shopping for a Defender. That said, it would have been perfect if it came with a set of steel wheels instead.
