The year was 1983 when Land Rover unveiled the iconic 110, a rugged and versatile off-road beast now known as the Defender. For those who are curious, the number 110 reflects the length of the wheelbase. Fast forward two years, and the 1985 variant of the 110 came to life with improved capabilities. While many of these classic Defenders have undergone years of wear and tear, there are rare gems that have been meticulously restored to their former glory. Arkonik, a renowned company specializing in restoring and customizing Land Rover Defenders, got their hands on this 1985 Land Rover Defender 110. The current owner reports that its build was completed in 2015, and with only 4,500 miles on the odometer, this Defender has been sparingly driven.

Engine
When you open the hood of this 1985 Land Rover Defender 110 Arkonik, you are greeted with a Weber 4bbl-carbureted 3.5L V8 engine. It offers you complete control of its power with a 5-speed manual transmission. Fitted with a dual-range transfer case and locking center differential, this Defender is ready to hit rugged terrains.

The 1988 Land Rover Defender 110 is the kind of classic 4x4 that earned its reputation through simplicity, utility, and genuine off-road capability. Showing approximately 69,322 miles, this example is finished in Marine Blue with a contrasting Davos White roof and carries the unmistakable long-wheelbase, five-door Defender profile. Its 2.5L turbocharged diesel engine, 5-speed manual transmission, dual-range transfer case, and center differential lock give it the mechanical foundation enthusiasts expect from a traditional Land Rover, while details such as Alpine roof windows, tubular side steps, black fender flares, and aftermarket LED headlights add both character and usability. It is a straightforward, purpose-built utility vehicle with the kind of old-school driving experience that has made the Defender 110 such an enduring enthusiast favorite.
The 1999 Land Rover Defender 110 300Tdi Station Wagon is the sort of vehicle that built Land Rover’s reputation for durability, utility, and go-anywhere capability. Showing 102,866 miles, this example is finished in Forest Green with a tan and black interior and combines the practical five-door 110 body with the highly regarded 300Tdi diesel drivetrain. Its expedition-oriented equipment, including a full-length roof rack, rear access ladder, tubular side steps, black steel wheels, and TerraMax all-terrain tires, gives it a purposeful look that suits the Defender’s character. Inside, two-tone seating and a wood-rimmed steering wheel add a more distinctive touch to this traditionally utilitarian platform.
The 1995 Land Rover Defender 110 has long been prized for its utilitarian character, unmistakable box-section styling, and go-anywhere roots, but this Monarch Project 24 takes that familiar formula in an entirely different direction. Showing approximately 1,820 miles, it combines classic Defender architecture with a comprehensively reworked drivetrain, suspension, braking system, exterior, and cabin. At its heart is a 430-horsepower 6.2L LS3 V8 backed by a 6L80 six-speed automatic and Atlas transfer case, while a 5-inch suspension lift, Fox shocks, Ford 9-inch axles, Wilwood brakes, and a Warn winch give the build serious mechanical substance. Nardo Grey paint with orange accents, Italian Nappa leather, carbon-fiber trim, teak flooring, digital instrumentation, and modern multimedia equipment turn this D110 into a distinctive blend of old-school Land Rover presence and modern restomod execution.
The NAS Defender 90 occupies a special place in Land Rover history, combining the short-wheelbase utility of the classic Defender with a U.S.-market specification that has become increasingly collectible.

Finished in White over a Black interior, it pairs a 3.9-liter naturally aspirated V8 with a 5-speed manual transmission and four-wheel drive. The SW Edition specification, low indicated mileage, Hella Rallye 3000 auxiliary lights, Freestyle alloy wheels, BFGoodrich all-terrain tires, and folding rear jump seats make this a particularly appealing example for enthusiasts looking for a more distinctive NAS Defender.
The Defender 130 sits at the working end of the classic Defender family, stretching the familiar platform into a four-door Crew Cab Pickup with serious cargo-carrying versatility.

Add the long pickup bed, canvas cover, front winch, and traditional steel wheels, and this 130 retains the purposeful character that made these trucks such enduring icons.
