The restorations that come out of Arkonik’s Somerset workshop are
aimed at wealthy clients in North America. They tend to be pretty
luxurious as a result – but that hasn’t stopped the Omega 110 from
looking ready for work on a set of heavy-duty steel wheels
L
ast month, we featured a very cool Land
Rover Defender 110 which had been
restored by Arkonik for export to North
America. Like all the company’s builds, it
was a big-budget affair – but unlike a lot of big-
budget affairs, as well as being a heirloom street
machine it was built to do a proper job off-road.
Now here’s a very cool Land Rover Defender
110 which has been restored by Arkonik for
export to North America... and which, as well
as being a heirloom street machine, was built to
do a proper job off-road. Do you see a pattern
forming at all?
There’s more to it than just cutting and
pasting, though. Every Arkonik build is unique:
even though both these 110s have the same
intent, not to mention the same colour, they’re
subtly different. This one, for example, is in
Fungus Green.fit for purpose
