The Land Rover Defender 130 Crew Cab is a legendary off-road vehicle, known for its rugged durability, versatility, and timeless design. This fully restored example takes the Defender’s iconic status to the next level with a meticulous rebuild that combines original craftsmanship with modern enhancements. Starting with a stripped and powder-coated Defender 110 chassis, the restoration involved completely rebuilding the axles, brakes, and suspension to OEM specifications, ensuring the vehicle performs as well as it looks.
Under the hood, the matching numbers 300 TDI engine has been rebuilt to factory specifications, along with the R380 transmission and LT230 transfer case, making this Defender a reliable powerhouse. The exterior has been repainted in the customer’s choice of color, with doors protected against rust and a new Puma bonnet and grille for a refined look.
Inside, the Defender’s interior has been completely renewed, featuring premium seating, modern soundproofing, and the option to install a Puma dashboard for an updated feel. Creature comforts like air conditioning, heated seats, and electric windows enhance the driving experience, while the Pioneer audio system with Apple CarPlay and a rear camera provides modern tech convenience.
With additional accessories like LED lights, side steps, and a steering guard, this build stays true to the Defender’s off-road roots while offering contemporary amenities. This hand-built restoration is the perfect blend of heritage and modern functionality, making it a one-of-a-kind vehicle for any enthusiast who values both adventure and luxury.
