The car will be driven by three-time British Rally Champion and Bond movie stunt driver Mark Higgins along with co-driver Claire Williams.
The challenge starts with the North Wales leg on March 26.
Higgin has stunt-driven in four 007 films – Quantum of Solace, Skyfall, Spectre and No Time to Die.
The new Defender was featured in the latest Bond release No Time To Die.

The challenge Defender 90 is powered by the P300 Ingenium powertrain and features a host of safety modifications, including a full roll cage, enhanced cooling for the engine and transmission, a sports exhaust and new rear roof spoiler.
The stealthy-looking vehicle also features a special 007 60th logo on its roof and sides.
Other enhancements include strengthened 18-inch Bowler wheels with all-terrain tyres and a bespoke suspension design with modified subframes, new springs and unique turrets for increased stiffness.
Higgins said the new Defender is a tough and capable vehicle when it leaves the production line.
“I’ve seen it perform really challenging stunts while on the set of No Time To Die. With the race ready enhancements made by the Bowler team and with Claire by my side, we are confident we can have a great result," he said.
