===Defender SVX=== [[File:Land Rover Defender - Flickr - Alan D.jpg|thumbnail|right|Defender SVX]] [[File:A_110_Defender_with_Portale_Axles.jpg|thumbnail|right|Defender SVX 110 with [[portal axle]]s]] 2008 saw Land Rover's 60th anniversary, for which a new series of special edition Defenders were produced. Branded the "SVX", three models were built. All were painted black with "satin" effect body graphics on the vehicles' sides and bonnet carrying the "60th" logo used throughout 2008 at various special events and on anniversary merchandise. Bespoke five-spoke alloy wheels were used and a new silver-coloured front grille design was used. This also incorporated a new design of [[headlamp]] with the sidelight lamp being integral with the main headlamp unit, allowing the space previously used for the separate sidelight to be used to fit a pair of high-intensity [[Automotive lighting#Driving lights|driving lamps]]. Inside the SVX models gained [[Recaro]] bucket seats in the front row, alloy gearlever knobs and a [[Garmin]] GPS navigation system. The drivetrain was the standard 2.4-litre diesel and six-speed manual permanent four-wheel-drive transmission. The SVX edition was available as a 110 (only available outside the UK), a 90 and a brand-new design of 90 [[Convertible (car)|soft top]]- the first time a soft-top model had been available through showrooms in the UK since 1992. SVX soft tops had only the two front seats- the rear load bay being used to accommodate the spare wheel and a lockable storage box. A new design of hood was used, sloping down towards the rear over a jointed folding frame, unlike the standard square-framed hood used on other soft top Land Rovers. (This unit comes with a 2.4-litre diesel Ford DuraTorq 4 cylinder engine).
