Luxury Reimagined or Environmental Recklessness? The Debate Over a Modified 1989 Land Rover

In 2021, a 1989 Land Rover 110 was imported into the US and underwent extensive modifications at Blackbridge Motors in Norwalk, Connecticut. Amidst a climate crisis, the transformation includes a gas-guzzling LS3 engine swap, a high-end repaint in Beluga Black, and a conversion to left-hand drive. Critics argue that in an era demanding sustainability and responsibility, such projects reflect a concerning prioritization of luxury and performance over environmental stewardship.
