Description

Chassis Number/ VIN SALLDHMV7BA242713
When we rebuilt this truck and added the electronic fuel Injection I had no idea how much extra power it would have. It feels like a competition monster truck.
Built in 1985, this is one of the earliest 3. 5L petrol V8 (3528cc) Land Rovers, and now registered “Historic”, but with a whole new life ahead of it with a rebuilt engine fitted with Electronic Fuel Injection, newly refurbished gearbox and transmission, new exhaust system, wiring loom, lights, fully new or meticulously rebuilt engine components, and all new suspension.
Historic is terrific, but we've added Carplay, USB charger, and cup holders to make this a daily runner.
Never produced as such, we've fitted the ⅔ split rear seats with shoulder harnesses, and adapted them to fold for cargo space. The upholstery is in great condition: original “denim twill” cloth, freshly cleaned.
A Defender never feels complete without a rack, so I repurposed a 1980s Defender farm rack into a dual rack system. Tested at 200 lbs, these galvanized racks are painted with Black Country Paint's British Military coating in matt black.
The original farm-jack is refurbished and installed behind the front seats. Heritage Trust Certificate, V5C Historic registration, and 400 build photos accompany the purchase. The power and smooth ride of this classic is amazing. And because it's entirely rebuilt, it could be mistaken for a brand new truck.
The chassis and engine are original, but we put a factory-painted 2008 Tonga Green Crew-Cab body on it. Authentic and classic, it has the modern power and comforts to be your daily driver with Carplay, cup holders, and turn-key starter.
It's ready to be your forever family car, camping climber, work truck, and showstopper.
