Olly Murs collects his modified Land Rover Defender 110

Olly Murs collecting his revamped Land Rover Defender 110 from Urban Automotive

Singer-songwriter and TV personality Olly Murs has been handed the keys to his specially-commissioned Land Rover Defender 110.

He visited Urban Automotive’s Milton Keynes HQ to collect his reimagined Land Rover from company founder Simon Dearn.

Urban Automotive was entrusted with the transformation of Olly’s beloved Defender 110, managing a comprehensive refresh just in time for the birth of his first child with wife Amelia.

He plans to use the car for his new life as a parent with family-focused activities such “staycations, camping holidays and tents”.

Olly’s choice of modifications included a full ‘Best of British’ exterior design pack, 18-inch Urban Cruiser alloys, LED lighting and upgraded suspension, giving the iconic 4×4 an aggressive new look.

Urban Automotive’s team also carried out a light restoration and paintwork refresh, leaving the Defender 110 looking even better than when it originally left the factory.

The project presented an opportunity for the company to go back to its roots, because Urban Automotive was originally founded as a specialist for the original Land Rover Defender 90 and 110 models, building high-end vehicle conversions under the Urban Truck brand.
