WHEN broadcaster and adventurer Ben Fogle wanted a make-over for his classic Land Rover, he turned to Williton-based specialists Exmoor Trim.

Award-winning Ben, known for his love of the wilderness and inaccessible places, owns a Puma Defender 90 Land Rover and wanted to upgrade various parts of his top of the range four-wheel drive vehicle.

So he went to Exmoor Trim and they made various changes to all manner of gear including the hood and even the steering wheel.

“Ben has always had a love for Land Rovers - he even wrote a book called ‘Land Rover: The Story of the Car That Conquered the World’,” said a company spokesman.

“So, when the time came for Ben to make a change, he chose Exmoor Trim fitting technicians to do the work, saying it ‘felt like the right fit’.”

Exmoor Trim, based at Williton’s Roughmoor Industrial Estate, produce seats, hoods, canvas seat covers and hundreds of other accessories for Land Rovers, and they worked closely with Ben on making a bespoke ‘stayfast’ hood.

The high-tech cover was handmade by specialists in the company’s hood department.

Ben’s Land Rover was then sent across to Exmoor Trim’s fitting centre where technicians made numerous changes including mounting a classic Evander Wood Rim steering wheel and new slimline boss kit.

The adventurer said he was delighted with the changes: “My thanks to Exmoor Trim for the beautiful new canopy on my Land Rover… She looks amazing!” he said.
