Land Rover celebrates 75 years in Japan with a highly exclusive commemorative model — the CLASSIC DEFENDER WORKS V8 MUROMACHI EDITION.
Limited to just two units (one 90, one 110) and priced at ¥64,000,000 each, this special edition embodies heritage, craftsmanship, and unrivaled prestige.
A Tribute to Land Rover’s First Steps in Japan
Land Rover’s Japanese journey began in 1950, when the Series I first arrived in Nihonbashi Muromachi, Tokyo.
Named after this historic location, the MUROMACHI EDITION pays homage to the birthplace of the brand’s legacy in Japan.
Exclusive Muramachi Heritage Neutral Grey & Bespoke Brass Details
The exterior features a bespoke Muromachi Heritage Neutral Grey finish, paired with Narvik Black steel wheels and classic heritage-style brass badges, crafted by Birmingham’s oldest jeweler.
A refined balance of rugged authenticity and artisanal elegance.
Bridge of Weir Leather & First-Ever Mohair Roof for the 90
Inside, the cabin is trimmed in Bridge of Weir semi-aniline chocolate-brown leather, creating a warm, sophisticated ambiance.
The 90 version debuts Land Rover’s first brown mohair soft top, blending luxury textile heritage with open-air freedom.
Re-Engineered to Perfection: 5.0L V8, 405PS, ZF 8-Speed
Powered by a naturally aspirated 5.0-litre V8 delivering 405PS, paired with a ZF 8-speed automatic transmission.
Each vehicle undergoes an exhaustive full rebuild, with Eibach springs, Bilstein dampers, and uprated Alcon brakes — preserving classic character while elevating performance to modern standards.
A Collector’s Masterpiece
More than an SUV, the MUROMACHI EDITION is a cultural homage and a mechanical work of art.
It stands as the ultimate expression of the classic Defender — rare, handcrafted, and steeped in legacy.
