Highlights:
Restored Factory Built V8
Porsche Miami Blue
Low Original Miles
Shown here is a full body off restored Defender 110 Soft Top that went through a whole truck load (pun intended) of tasteful modifications and performance upgrades. This 1989 model was factory built with the 3.5L V8 and was purchased by Car Cave with approximately 58K original miles prior to the restoration. We love this Defender and took it on several road trips where it performed exceptionally well. The Defender is finished in Porsche Miami Blue (Color Code M5C) which pairs perfect with the Exmoor Trim Camel Fluted leather interior and black accents. The proprietor of Car Cave USA built this for part of his private collection and it has always been kept in climate-controlled storage when not in use.
The Defender was sold new in Greece and purchased by our Athens location. When we found this Defender it had a straight body and rust free chassis. All of the original spot welds on the tub were in place. It was a great base for an epic build. We could easily recognize upon inspection this Defender lived in the dry Greek climate and was well taken care of throughout its life. Car Cave then painstakingly stripped this Defender down to the chassis for a mechanical rebuild and completed a full rotisserie respray of the body.

The 1989 Defender 110 V8 is a rare left hand drive with the factory built 3.5L Rover V8 that has been performance modified with a Edelbrock Performer Intake, Holley Sniper Fuel Injection, headers, and stainless steel exhaust. We have the tune on the Sniper EFI kit dialed in nicely and the Defender cruisers down the interstate. The Safety Devices 6 point roll cage provides excellent rollover protection. Safety Devices was the vendor Land Rover used to get the North American Spec Defenders certified by NHSTA for legal road use in the United States.
