1987 Land Rover Defender 110

1987 Land Rover 110 Left-Hand Drive Restomod

This 1987 Land Rover 110 is a beautifully refurbished left-hand-drive example that combines classic Land Rover character with a number of desirable modern upgrades. Originally built for the European market, this Defender 110 was comprehensively refurbished by Von Dur Land Rovers in the Netherlands and given the “Urban Miami” treatment. The truck was imported into the United States in 2021 and has been transformed into a distinctive and highly usable vintage 4x4.

During the refurbishment, the body was removed from the frame and refinished in metallic gray with a contrasting black roof and black fender flares. The exterior has been further upgraded with a Puma-style hood, LED headlights, roof rack, rear step, side steps, and other functional accessories that give this 110 a purposeful modern appearance while retaining the unmistakable character of the original Land Rover design.

Power comes from a replacement 3.5-liter Rover V8 equipped with an Edelbrock air intake and carburetor. The V8 is paired with a five-speed manual transmission and a dual-range transfer case, providing the traditional hands-on driving experience and four-wheel-drive capability expected from a classic Defender. The truck is also equipped with front disc brakes. The selling dealer notes that a lifter is currently noisy, which should be taken into consideration by the next owner.

The stance is enhanced by black-finished 18-inch DV8 Sawtooth wheels wrapped in BFGoodrich All-Terrain T/A tires, giving the 110 a modernized look while maintaining the rugged appearance associated with Land Rover's iconic utility vehicles.

Inside, the cabin has been substantially upgraded with replacement seating trimmed in tan leather, complemented by matching leather door panels and center console. An Alcantara headliner adds an upscale touch, while modern conveniences include air conditioning, power windows and locks, a rear-view camera, and an Alpine touchscreen stereo.

With its left-hand-drive configuration, European-specification 110 body, replacement V8 power, five-speed manual transmission, dual-range four-wheel drive, modernized interior, upgraded suspension and wheels, and distinctive Urban Miami styling, this 1987 Land Rover 110 offers a compelling combination of vintage Land Rover heritage and modern usability. It is an eye-catching classic 4x4 suited for weekend adventures, off-road exploration, or simply standing out from the crowd wherever it goes.
