This 1996 Land Rover Defender 110 is a left-hand-drive five-door wagon that was imported to the US in 2021, and it has been re-powered with a 5.3-liter Vortec V8 linked to a six-speed automatic transmission. The truck was refinished in gray and modified under previous ownership with Hooker exhaust headers, 16″ EVO Corse wheels, a 2″ suspension lift, Terrafirma remote-reservoir shocks, a winch, a Voyager roof rack, an ARB awning, Recaro front seats, and a Jensen touchscreen stereo.

The truck was modified under previous ownership with LED auxiliary lights, a Voyager roof rack, Terrafirma bumpers, a Terrafirma front winch, an air-intake snorkel, and an ARB awning. The surrounding body panels were repainted to match, replacement factory weather seals were fitted, and an Explore Glazing sliding rear window and gullwing rear side windows were installed. Additional appointments consist of LED headlights, rock sliders, black wheel arch extensions, and a white roof with alpine windows. Videos documenting the door installation and paintwork are viewable in the gallery below, and a PPG color match card documenting adjustments to the Audi Nardo Gray paint is included in the sale.

Black 16″ EVO Corse wheels are mounted with Nitto Ridge Grappler tires. The truck is equipped with a 2″ suspension lift with Terrafirma springs and remote-reservoir shocks, and stopping power is provided by four-wheel disc brakes. The right rear hub assembly and left rear axle were replaced in 2024.

The Recaro front bucket seats are trimmed in black leather and houndstooth cloth upholstery. Sound and thermal insulation were installed under previous ownership, and appointments include a Jensen touchscreen stereo, Morel speakers, air conditioning, and power locks. The defrost vent setup was updated in 2024, and the air conditioning system was serviced and recharged in 2025.
