The Defender nameplate made its appearance in 1983, but the vehicle itself can actually be directly traced all the way to the original Series 1 of 1948. Few vehicles in the world can lay claim to such fame, and the Defender (together with the Series) remain legendary examples of what Land Rover used to stand for – tough, utilitarian, no-nonsense transportation over almost any terrain. If you’ve been a fan of these vehicles, here’s a hurrah for you in the form of a 1995 Land Rover Defender 110 Restomod that’s fresh from a 2021 restoration by Transatlantic Trading Company in England. Using a chassis from a French vehicle, it’s a leftie, so don’t worry about sitting on the wrong side of the road in North America. It’s also got a tasty surprise under the hood, but to find out what, you will need to read on.
Exterior and Interior
The iconic lines of the Defender changed very little from the Series, and continued all the way until the model was retired in 2016. This 1995 Land Rover Defender 110 Restomod wears a new paint job of what appears to be a metallic gray in some light, shifting towards a green hue from certain angles as we can see in the photos. The seller reports new doors, new lights, and it rolls on a set of stylish five-spoke Land Rover alloys, wrapped in the requisite all terrain tires. Climb aboard the interior using the side steps for assistance, and you’re greeted by a black theme with seating for up to eight passengers in addition to the driver. This is made possible, as in addition to the two front seats and three rear seats, there are two facing benches behind, with two seat belts each. An aftermarket steering wheel adorns the helm, and you gaze at a mostly stock instrument cluster, with the addition of a tachometer neatly sitting in your field of view. There’s also a lockable cubby for your valuables, the seller reports that the air conditioning unit is new, and an Alpine stereo system brings Bluetooth capabilities to the table. Glance upwards and you’re greeted by new alcantara headliner.
Engine
A Defender would typically pack a stout turbodiesel engine, or unstressed petrol mill beneath its hood, but not this 1995 Land Rover Defender 110 Restomod. Instead, you’ll find a 3.2L BMW S52 straight six neatly nestling within. If that sounds familiar, it’s because the S52 powered the North American post-facelift E36 M3, and delivered 240hp and 236lb-ft. It’s also happy to spin up to 7,000rpm. Sending the power to the wheels is a six speed manual gearbox. The seller reports a laundry list of mods and refreshments across the vehicle, including new air intake, new air filter, air mass meter, new fuel system, fuel pressure regulator, new fuel system, a custom fabricated fan shroud, new suspension, new struts, and new exhaust. Finally, there’s reportedly been a recent alignment and oil change, making this Landie ready to hit the streets and trails.
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.
This 1999 Land Rover Defender 110 represents one of the most recognizable and capable utility vehicles ever produced, combining classic British expedition styling with practical upgrades for modern usability. Powered by the legendary 2.5L turbocharged TD5 diesel engine and paired with a 5-speed manual transmission, this Defender delivers the rugged character and driver involvement that enthusiasts seek from the marque. Showing approximately 98,377 miles, this example features a matte black exterior, upgraded lighting, aftermarket wheels, and a refreshed interior, creating a distinctive take on the iconic long-wheelbase Defender platform.
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.
