Chelsea Truck Company Vanguard Edition - Redefining the Iconic Defender

The ultimate redesign of the classic Land Rover Defender, the Chelsea Truck Company Vanguard edition has been introduced during the 2019 Geneva International Motor Show. The design of this unique vehicle was led by Afzal Kahn and his design team and has been taken into the ground rethought with elements of classic British design and the rugged nature of the military.

The Vanguard edition represents the CTC ethos: the company decided to improve the original design of the Defender, improving its looks, performance, and inner worth. This ultra-wide Defender, at 3990mm long, 2090mm wide and 2190mm high with its commanding stance, brings a massive footprint to the road with the front and rear wheel arches stretched by 6 inches each.

Under the brash surface is an exhaustively modified powertrain with improved suspension axles, half shafts, and running gear that offers driving dynamics that are much more refined than the outdated Defender. The twin crosshair stainless steel exhaust system of the vehicle gives it an obdurate, intentional feel and reinforces its performance nature.

Exterior Features:

Front & rear wide wings with integrated vents and bolt apertures
Extended wheel arches and tubular side steps
X-Lander front grille with headlight surrounds
Mesh bonnet and side vents in stainless steel
Satin black roof with privacy glass
Front bumper sump guard with Tron Ring and fog lights
Shadow chrome headlights & rear mud flaps
Chelsea Truck Company Black spare wheel cover
Mondial Retro 9x20” Volcanic Black alloy wheels with Cooper Discovery A/T3 tyres

Inside, the Vanguard edition offers a luxuriously appointed cabin where design meets functionality. Front GTB sport seats and a rear four-seater bench are upholstered in Portland Herringbone leather with quilting and perforation, while door panels, glove box, and instrument binnacle echo this premium finish. Thoughtful details include the Churchill time clock facia, billet steering wheel and gear sticks, vented machined aluminium pedals, heated front seats, and an interior nameplate celebrating British craftsmanship.

Interior Highlights:

Quilted leather seats & door panels
Billet aluminium steering wheel and gear/transfer sticks
Chelsea Truck Co. Churchill time clock facia insert
Vented aluminium foot pedals
Rear boot mat in heavy-duty rubber
Full interior leather detailing with bespoke CTC branding

Every Vanguard edition Defender is hand-finished with meticulous attention to detail, embodying the fusion of heritage, engineering excellence, and contemporary design. Designed as a six-seater, with extra-wide arches and a full suspension lift kit, this vehicle is as capable on challenging terrain as it is striking on the road.

The Chelsea Truck Company Vanguard edition is more than a vehicle; it is a statement of automotive design, performance, and British craftsmanship, representing the pinnacle of the Defender’s evolution.
