The Forge is a 2001 Land Rover Defender 110 Td5 Station Wagon from Spain, restored and upgraded with everything: a rebuilt drivetrain, two-tone Corris Grey and Santorini Black paint, Chestnut Brown Exmoor Trim leather, Bilstein suspension, air-conditioning and Apple CarPlay. Its buyer deals in stainless steel, so a name from the metal trade suited it, and so does the story: a truck taken apart and built back stronger. It’s a comfortable, modern-feeling 110 that keeps the original Defender character.
