RNG Classics Bespoke Land Rover 110 for Team Ignition

At RNG Classics, our vehicles are chosen not just for their heritage, but for their character and occasionally, that character earns them a role far beyond the road. This time at a purpose built firing range and quarry in Somerset.

Our one-of-a-kind Bespoke Land Rover Defender 110 recently took centre stage as the personal transport of Kim Hughes in a powerful new episode from Team Ignition. A man whose career has quite literally revolved around walking towards danger rather than away from it, Hughes represents resilience, precision, and calm under pressure qualities that pair remarkably well with the enduring capability of a classic Defender.

Awarded the George Cross for his actions in Afghanistan, where he safely disposed of over 100 improvised explosive devices, Hughes is widely regarded as one of the most accomplished bomb disposal experts in modern British military history. His story is one of focus, discipline, and trust in both training and equipment making our Defender 110 a fitting companion.

The Bespoke Defender 110 is far from ordinary. Carefully restored and enhanced, it retains the rugged DNA that made the Land Rover Defender 110 an icon, while offering a refined driving experience suited to modern expectations.

In the episode, the Defender fully branded up with Team Ignition decals isn’t just background it becomes part of the narrative. Its presence reinforces a sense of reliability and strength, qualities essential in Hughes’ world and deeply embedded in the legacy of the vehicle itself.

Seeing one of our Defenders in the hands of someone like Kim Hughes is a reminder that these vehicles were built with purpose and continue to carry that spirit today.
