You'll no doubt be aware that the Land Rover Defender - that staple of countless national armed forces, tin-pot militias and Richard Hammond - has been around since 1948. And in the intervening 63-year period, it hasn't, erm, changed much.

It's still as tough as a Winchester 12 gauge and as utilitarian as Bear Grylls hunting for an evening snack in the wilderness. But should it be as luxurious inside as a Range Rover? After all, as Richard and James have posited over the years, a Defender should be ruinously old and biblically dirty to be worthwhile...

Bulgarian tuning firm Vilner decries ‘pish' to this notion. It has customised the interior of two Defenders for an anonymous Russian oligarch, "for whom luxury matters".
