The British four-wheel drive and off-road capable manufacturer Land Rover is one of those automobile manufacturers still holding up to its name and capabilities. It is a brand of Jaguar Land Rover and was introduced in 1948. Arguably the Land Rover Defender is the most well-known model of their lineup, the Defender dates back to 1983 when it was first introduced, and the Defender is the spiritual successor of the Land Rover Series. Up for grabs is a 1986 Land Rover Defender 110 restomod completed in 2021, with some tasty upgrades.
Exterior and Interior
Starting off, this particular 1986 Land Rover Defender 110 was imported from Eastern Europe, as reported by the owner. Undoubtedly, the Land Rover Defender is a rugged vehicle; as such, it espouses its ruggedness in its build and design. Moreover, the owner has upgraded the SUV's exterior with an SV6 body kit, which sees the front grille replaced with a chrome and black painted grille. It is painted in a new two-tone black on matte black. The hood has been replaced with the beefier Puma variant hood, which comes with a large hood cowl. Hood vents in silver can be seen flanking the hood. The lower end of the Defender has the standard front bumper replaced with a more off-road type unit with integrated lights. The sides feature Wolfstorm tubular rock sliders/side steps finished in a textured black powder coat. As with the front, the rear features a heavy-duty powder-coated bumper. All the lights have been replaced with LED units, and the owner has added a roof LED lightbar. The new soft top is finished in black and comes with a carbon fiber pattern interior. The seller reports that the interior is entirely new and features black with orange contrast stitching. A new center console is installed onto the new OEM Puma dashboard. A new stereo system with Bluetooth capability has also been added, along with a new custom subwoofer system under the seats. Keeping the occupants cool is a new A/C unit.
Engine
Replacing the original powertrain in this 1986 Land Rover Defender 110 restomod is a Td5 engine from a 2002 Land Rover coupled with a new ZF automatic transmission. A new 4WD LT230 transfer case is also installed to meet any off-road challenge. The seller reports that new tires are in place, and an oil change was performed recently.
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 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. This 2001 Land Rover Defender 130 shows 49,825 miles and brings together several ingredients enthusiasts look for in an old-school Defender: a Td5 turbo-diesel, 5-speed manual, permanent four-wheel drive, locking center differential, and dual-range transfer case. 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.

The 1997 Land Rover Defender 90 remains one of the most recognizable compact 4x4s ever built, and this example blends the model’s traditional utility with a selection of functional upgrades. Showing approximately 81,458 miles, it is finished in Black over a Black interior and retains the classic right-hand-drive configuration. Power comes from a 2.5-liter turbocharged four-cylinder diesel paired with a 5-speed manual transmission, while an LT230 dual-range transfer case and locking center differential provide the mechanical foundation expected from a Defender. Exterior additions such as a Rhino-Rack roof rack, rear access ladder, brush guard, Sawtooth-style wheels, side steps, and checker-plate protection reinforce its expedition-ready character, while the cabin has been updated with aftermarket front bucket seats and a touchscreen audio system.
