The Moke for summer, the Defender for winter: two iconic SUNCAR vehicles
One Classic Defender restored It’s not just a used car: it’s a restored icon, built to last and made in your image. At SUNCAR, it naturally extends the spirit of the electric Moke. In the summer, you’ll whizz along the waterfront with the roof down. When winter comes, the adventure continues, simply on different roads and in all weathers.
Many of our clients, charmed by the Moke, ask us the same question: what about long journeys, for winter, for the mountains? The answer is in two words, a restored Defender.
The Moke: summer, lightness, the French Riviera
The electric Moke is sunshine, short journeys, and instant pleasure. Silent, convertible, joyful, it's made for coastal drives, drinks at the harbour, and summer getaways. Zero emissions, easy charging, guaranteed smiles: it embodies the Côte d'Azur art of living. When everyone turns to look as you pass, you know you've made the right choice. But summer only lasts one season, and the desire for escape never fades.
The restored Defender: winter, long roads, all paths
When the fine weather gives way to long distances and winter getaways, the restored Land Rover Defender takes over. Robust, timeless, built to devour the miles as well as snowy tracks, it offers a unique character and bespoke comfort. A restored Defender is a vehicle that's been completely overhauled: treated chassis, reliable mechanics, redone interior. It’s nothing like a tired used car. It’s the ideal companion for long journeys, mountain weekends, and demanding seasons.
Why a Defender for winter and long journeys?
Where the Moke shines in summer, the Defender excels when the weather gets tricky. Four-wheel drive, generous ground clearance, and a protective cabin all mean it will take you to the ski slopes, the countryside, or on holiday roads with complete peace of mind. And because it's been restored and made reliable, you can enjoy the charm of the old without the mechanical worries. You'll be driving with a clear conscience, summer or winter, on the road or off it.
Restoration, preparation and customisation: true expertise
Behind every restored Defender, there’s genuine specialist work. Restoring a Defender isn't something you can improvise: it requires stripping the chassis back to bare metal, making the mechanics reliable, and carefully attending to every detail. On top of that, there’s preparation and customisation: bespoke colours, leather upholstery, equipment, and an engine chosen according to your needs. Whether it’s an authentic Classic Defender or a custom Defender designed in your image, the principle remains the same: a unique vehicle, made for you, and delivered ready to drive anywhere in France.
Two vehicles, one spirit SUNCAR
The Moke and the Defender are not competitors; they complement each other. The same taste for authenticity, the same demand for quality finishes, the same way of life. The Moke for the lightness of summer, the restored Defender for the character of winter and long journeys. One brand, two seasons, a single trusted address for experiencing adventure all year round.
