Is this Defender Africa’s coolest Landy?

His love for Land Rovers began in 1997 on a 4x4 course in the Eastern Cape. Since then Johan de Villiers from Cape Town has owned many Landies, but the latest one is his favourite.

Johan came across a Land Rover Defender – the double-cab bakkie version – on Gumtree and went to pick it up in George. There had already been some light modifications done to the Landy, but Johan would eventually turn it into a next level rig.

Johan was specifically looking for the double-cab bakkie, because according to him, he didn’t want to look like an old fart driving an ordinary Landy station wagon.
