IT’S GOT THEIR NAME ON IT

One car that Tecniq is putting its name to is a restomodded Land Rover Defender 110. Called the Q40, it is a project to demonstrate the company’s skills and built to mark 40 years of the RAF Chinook.

The interior and exterior and mechanicals have all been overhauled. The chassis sits 25mm lower than a standard Defender 110 and there are new dampers, springs, roll bars and bushes. The engine is a 2.3-litre Ford Ecoboost making 307bhp and driving through a six-speed auto gearbox.

And then there’s a vast interior overhaul, with carbonfibre seats finished in leather and the kind of structural cabin changes that Tecniq makes for low-volume cars.

Outside, there is more of its carbonfibre and aluminium.

The Q40 is scheduled to be auctioned at the Goodwood Revival meeting in September, with the proceeds going to the Royal Air Forces Association charity.
