Here's is a little-known fact; around a quarter of all the Land Rover Defenders sold in the UK aren't built primarily to carry passengers. This significant slice of sales is accounted for by the Hard Top van variant we look at here. The name is slightly misleading, implying that there's also a variant of this working vehicle with a soft top removable roof - as there was when this moniker was first introduced on early versions of the original Defender. It's been retained to distinguish this LCV variant from passenger-carrying Defenders and, as with those models, there's a choice of short wheelbase 90 or long wheelbase 110 body shapes. Development of this van derivative was completed by Land Rover's Special Vehicle Operations division and is been done properly, as we're about to see.
The days are past when there was nothing quite like a Defender Hard Top, as was the case at this LCV model's original launch. The INEOS Grenadier Commercial and the Toyota Land Cruiser Commercial both now offer stiff (and cheaper) competition. But it's still true to say that if you really want a Defender van, nothing else will be quite the same. Unlike its two rivals, the Hard Top comes in a choice of body shapes - and there's a wider range of options too. Which could continue to sway the country vet and farmer-orientated target market Land Rover's way.
