North44 Rovers Vanguard Edition Defender “Spectre” is a striking fusion of rugged capability and bespoke luxury. This build features a fully rebuilt 300TDI turbo diesel engine with a billet hybrid turbo, matched to a 5-speed R380 manual gearbox. Sitting atop a restored chassis finished in epoxy primer and Raptor coating, the Spectre is purpose-built for performance and presence—enhanced by 37” Maxxis Trepador tires, Terrafirma 2” lift suspension, and a WARN winch bumper with LED DRLs. Inside, the cabin is reimagined with heated Recaro CS seats, black suede headliner, custom leather detailing, and full sound, heat, and vibration insulation.
The Vanguard Spectre isn’t just built—it’s curated. Each element is refined by our in-house design team and tailored in collaboration with its future owner. Every stitch, every surface, every decision—purposeful and personal.
