This 1999 Land Rover Defender 110 is a brand-new, ground-up build completed by Prestige Defender in August 2025 and has traveled approximately 280 miles since completion. The build was executed with a focus on mechanical longevity, drivability, and structural integrity, resulting in a Defender that presents as essentially new from a mechanical standpoint.
Power is provided by a fully rebuilt turbo-diesel engine paired with a rebuilt manual transmission and comprehensively refurbished driveline. The chassis was stripped, refinished, and reassembled with new suspension, steering, braking, and drivetrain components throughout. The vehicle benefits from thoughtful performance and reliability upgrades while retaining classic Defender character.
