This 1994 Land Rover Defender 90 is a European-market example that was imported from Italy and treated to a custom frame-off restoration at a cost of approximately $175k. It has been refinished in Bentley's Sequin Blue Metallic over charcoal Alcantara upholstery with blue stitching and features teak wood floors, a custom high-end sound system, LED exterior lighting, upgraded disc brakes, raised suspension, quick-ratio power steering, a rebuilt 5-speed manual gearbox, and a rebuilt 3.0-liter turbodiesel engine. Having covered about 100 miles of test driving since completion, the freshly restored and customized Defender is now being offered for auction out of Maryland.
This Defender 90 is said to have undergone a comprehensive nut-and-bolt restoration with a new Sequin Blue Metallic color derived from Bentley’s paint catalog. Accessories include a custom color-matched canvas soft top, LED headlights, taillights, and indicators, a heavy-duty front bumper with custom integrated LED lighting, an upgraded rear bumper, new mirrors, mud flaps, and black powder-coated 16” Sawtooth alloy wheels with matching rear-mounted spare. The seller indicates the glass was replaced during the restoration and the exterior has been treated with a ceramic coating. Detailed images are provided in the gallery.
The cabin has been redone with custom charcoal Alcantara upholstery and blue stitching complemented by teak wood flooring. Accessories include custom center console and door panels, blue lap belts, a three-spoke MOMO Prototipo steering wheel, polished aluminum shift knobs, a digital touchscreen stereo, high-end speakers, adjustable front bucket seats, and inward-facing rear jump seats.
Power comes from a rebuilt 3.0-liter turbocharged diesel engine that sends power to all four wheels through a rebuilt heavy-duty 5-speed manual gearbox, dual-range transfer case, and a locking center differential. The seller indicates a quick-ratio power steering rack has been installed along with a custom lifted off-road suspension and power-assisted brakes with oversized calipers and cross-drilled discs.
This sale will include a toolkit, a spare tire, and a clean title.

$175,000 in restoration costs?
Someone’s going to take a serious hit.
New photos were added of the restoration
@dukeyr I'm not sure what you are seeing. We have 75 pictures and video. We took close ups and possibly its glare but again i am not sure. We had the defender stripped to bare metal with photo documents.
Please clarify the areas so i can upload photos
I’m going to need far better pix. What is all that stuff around the door handles hinges etc.
Are u sure this was bare metal refurb? Thanks
@dukeyr The Defender was restored in Italy and we will post receipts shortly

@dukeyr We have photos and receipts for the restoration and they are in Italian

Bid in the amount of $50,000
