What makes this 2007 Defender 90 TD4 truly special isn’t just the upgrades…It’s the combination of originality, quality, and thoughtful enhancements that you almost never find together.

You’re looking at a left-hand drive, Italian-registered, factory TD4, with a full Lucari leather interior, Optimill hardware, Tembo expedition gear, and a mechanically overhauled drivetrain.
Defenders often get modified but very few get rebuilt properly. This one has.

The chassis, steering, brakes, wiring, shocks, and engine service have all been refreshed under current enthusiast ownership. It feels tight, predictable, and genuinely confidence-inspiring on the road.
This isn’t the typical “rough around the edges” TD4 it’s the one that’s been cared for, invested into, and improved by someone who knew what they were doing.

Inside, the transformation is remarkable:
hand-stitched Lucari seats, leather-lined trims, redesigned controls, upgraded electrics, and details like red belts and Optimill stalks that elevate the driving feel.

It’s the perfect balance:
character of an original Defender, comfort of a modernised one, reliability of a freshly overhauled truck.

For a buyer who wants more than just a cool 4x4 someone who wants a sorted, tasteful, and usable Defender

This 2007 Land Rover Defender 90 TD4 is the one that’s been built to be used.
From the moment you sit inside the Lucari hand-trimmed leather interior, you feel the difference. Every surface feels considered, from the stitched grab handles to the Momo steering wheel that perfectly fits the tone of the car.

The 2.4-litre Puma TD4 diesel pulls strong and smooth through the 5-speed manual, and the overhauled suspension and refreshed steering mean it tracks beautifully — on- or off-road.
It’s refined but still raw in all the right ways — that unmistakable Defender DNA is still there, just better executed.

And then there’s the look: Santorini Black paint, Tembo 4×4 roof rack, LED light bar, Optimill hardware, and Sawtooth alloys on Bridgestone Duelers — purposeful and perfectly balanced between heritage and modern utility.

This is the Defender you take everywhere — to the coast, through the city, or across a mountain road — and it’s just as ready for all three.

It all starts with the heart — the original 3.5L Rover V8, now performance-built and breathing through an Edelbrock 500 CFM carburettor.
Instant throttle response, deep exhaust note, and the unmistakable mechanical feel that modern SUVs have long forgotten.

This isn’t just a restored 110 — it’s a re-engineered one.
High-compression pistons, a performance camshaft, and uprated intake manifold transform the classic V8 into something truly alive.

Paired with its short-wheelbase agility and lightweight 3-door setup, it feels raw, analog, and beautifully balanced — a proper old-school Land Rover, but sharper in every way.

Finished in Bronze Green over Denim Twill, this One Ten is more than a truck — it’s a tribute to the era when driving was about connection, not convenience.

The beauty of this first-year One Ten isn’t just in how it looks — it’s in how it was rebuilt.
This truck was taken down to the last nut and bolt, every component restored, upgraded or renewed with an OEM+ philosophy: original character preserved, real-world drivability transformed.

Under the bonnet, the original matching-numbers 3.5L Rover V8 has been performance-built with high-compression pistons, a hotter cam, Edelbrock 500 CFM carb and uprated intake manifold — delivering the torque and soundtrack a classic Defender truly deserves.

Inside, the cabin keeps its period-correct simplicity, now paired with fresh Denim Twill seating for 8, rugged rubber mats, and subtle refinements that make it a perfect beach runner, country lane cruiser, or weekend escape machine.

A rare early 3-door 110 that bridges collectability with usability — ready to be enjoyed right away.

We’re finally excited to reveal our latest project — a 1983 Land Rover 110 (One Ten), the very first year of Defender lineage, completely reborn from the ground up.

This nut-and-bolt restored 3-Door Hard Top has been reimagined as the ultimate OEM+ Beach Runner, staying true to its origins while turning up the performance and style in every detail.

Under the bonnet, the original matching-numbers 3.5L V8 now breathes new life — rebuilt with high-compression pistons, a performance cam, edelbrock 500 cfm carburetor, and an uprated intake manifold. The result? Classic Rover soul with a sharper, more spirited edge.

Finished in timeless bronze green over denim twill seating for eight, it captures everything we love about early Land Rovers — mechanical honesty, utilitarian charm, and a touch of adventure.

✨ Elegance, perfectly preserved. ✨

Few classics embody 60s European glamour quite like the Mercedes-Benz 250 SL ‘Pagoda’. Designed by Paul Bracq with its distinctive concave hardtop, the Pagoda was built to be both beautiful and usable – a car you could drive across continents in comfort and style.

This 1967 example, finished in Silver over Red, is one of the rare 250 SLs built for just a single year, combining the charm of the original 230 SL with the technical refinements of the 280 SL: rear disc brakes, a larger fuel tank, and a more powerful 2.5-litre straight-six.

Delivered new to Chicago and showing just 61,442 miles, it comes with a rich history file and its original service book – a rare time capsule of an era when Mercedes-Benz set the gold standard for grand touring.

A car for the collector who appreciates authenticity, history, and timeless design.

The Defender with Riviera roots.

Originally delivered to the Côte d’Azur in 1999, this Defender 90 Highlander Edition carries its history with quiet confidence. Finished in factory Coniston Green with an Alpine White roof, it wears its Highlander decals proudly—a reminder of a limited-edition truck built for style as much as substance.

With just 95,000 miles and a lifetime of careful use, this example remains wonderfully authentic. The interior, paintwork, and details speak to preservation rather than over-restoration, while a sympathetic refresh has kept it sharp, reliable, and ready to enjoy.

At its heart lies the iconic TD5 turbo diesel, Land Rover’s five-cylinder workhorse. Smooth on long journeys, tough on trails, and legendary for its durability, it makes this Defender equally suited to daily life or weekend escapes.

Not just a Defender—this is a snapshot of late-90s Land Rover spirit, wrapped up in a truck you can truly use.
