This imported 1985 Land Rover Defender 90 has covered just 1,155 miles since being restored by the Land Rover specialists at Osprey Custom Cars of Castle Hayne, North Carolina. Obtained by Osprey as a basket case just over a year ago, this Defender now packs a 300-horsepower GM-sourced V8 engine, a 6-speed automatic transmission, and a refined interior on par with modern luxury Rovers. It is being offered on consignment with a clean North Carolina title and additional restoration documentation.
Exterior and Interior
This 1985 Land Rover Defender 90 has been extensively modified with a luxury off-road aesthetic, starting with a Kahn Design Wide Track arch kit flanked by powdercoated 16” Land Rover Sawtooth wheels wrapped in Achilles A/T tires. All exterior lights have been converted to LED including the headlights and taillights. A skid plate is visible below the KBX Signature grille, and the fenders and rockers are clad with black diamond plating. The one-year-old Beluga Black paint bears no notable signs of wear. Inside, the cabin space is far departed from a stock 1985 Land Rover Defender 90. Luxury appointments abound, with a full-length Alcantara headliner, wide panoramic sunroof, and custom upholstered seats drawing immediate attention. The dashboard has been reorganized thanks to a Ministry of Defender Puma kit incorporating black VDO gauges, a double DIN infotainment center with a backup camera and navigation, and functional heating and air conditioning systems. The digital odometer reflects that 1,555 miles have been covered since the restoration.
Engine
Under the hood lies a 5.3-liter LC9 V8, a GM-sourced aluminum engine rated at 315 horsepower and 335 lb-ft of torque in stock form. Power is delivered through a GM 6L80E 6-speed automatic transmission and a full-time four-wheel drive system with a center locking differential. Performance upgrades include a Griffin aluminum radiator, short air intake, and improved front and rear disc brakes. Every system was either refreshed or upgraded during the restoration process. Extended details of this Defender 90’s restoration are available upon request.
This 1993 Land Rover Defender 110 is an absolute classic of the sport and utility world. Highly sought after and collectible, the Defender was introduced as an alternative to the Land Rover Discovery. Since then, it has evolved into a league all its own for collectors and vintage enthusiasts. With British engineering and a design straight from World War II, the Defender is a nod to another era. The well kept secret on this example though, is its modern updates and high performance mods that bring it into the 21st century. The 2.5 litre diesel engine packs more than enough power to keep this timeless 4x4 rolling along.
When two iconic British luxury brands collaborate, the result is something truly special.

Built in limited numbers and featuring bespoke craftsmanship throughout, this ultra-luxury SUV combines the legendary off-road capability of a Range Rover with the refinement and exclusivity typically reserved for handcrafted grand touring automobiles. Showing approximately 37,555 miles, this example presents an opportunity to own a rare collector-grade luxury SUV equipped with executive rear seating, a custom gun box, and unique Holland & Holland appointments that set it apart from any standard Range Rover.
The Land Rover Defender is one of the most iconic off-road vehicles ever produced, earning a reputation for durability, simplicity, and go-anywhere capability in some of the harshest environments on Earth. This 1999 Land Rover Defender 90 is a desirable TD5-powered example showing just 64,587 miles and was imported from South Africa. Finished in Chawton White, it retains the unmistakable boxy silhouette that has made the Defender a global legend while benefiting from tasteful upgrades including a roof rack, LED headlights, and DV8 Works Sawtooth alloy wheels. For enthusiasts seeking a classic Defender with genuine utility, proven off-road credentials, and the character of the TD5 diesel era, this Defender 90 represents an increasingly sought-after opportunity.
Built for adventure and reimagined with V8 power, this 1986 Land Rover Defender 110 blends the iconic ruggedness of the classic Defender with upgraded drivability and custom expedition-inspired enhancements. Showing 14,950 miles, this Alpine White example replaces the original powertrain with a 302ci V8 paired to a 4-speed automatic transmission, transforming the traditionally utilitarian Defender into a far more approachable and versatile off-roader.
