1995 Land Rover Defender 110 Wagon
VIN SALLDHM68MA960278
What’s special about this listing
This 1995 Land Rover Defender 110 Wagon represents a thoroughly reimagined take on one of the most iconic off-road vehicles ever produced. According to the seller, this Defender has undergone a Puma Defender conversion — a comprehensive modernization that brings the truck's aesthetics and ergonomics in line with much newer Defenders while preserving the classic silhouette that enthusiasts covet. The build included a full repaint in black, with the seller noting that all body panels, doors, and the hood were removed for proper paint application. Additional exterior enhancements reportedly include paint-matched fender flares, billet door and hood hinges, billet door handles, a new front grille, LED headlights and taillights, and a winch-equipped front bumper with a Land Rover skid plate.
Under the hood, the original drivetrain has been replaced with a 6.2L LT1 V8 engine paired with an 8L90E 8-speed automatic transmission — a combination that delivers significantly more power and refinement than the factory offerings. The seller states this build also includes a left-hand-drive conversion, custom radiator and cooling fans, a new transfer case, updated wiring harness, engine management, transmission controller, and a new exhaust system. The suspension and steering have been upgraded as well, with new components and steering stabilizers to support the modernized drivetrain. Rolling on 315/75R16 Toyo Open Country A/T II tires, this Defender maintains the tough, capable stance expected of the model.
Inside, the cabin has been transformed with a custom tan leather interior featuring Exmoor Puma Defender seats, a Puma Defender dash replacement with matching leather trim, custom door panels, new carpeting, and a woodgrain steering wheel. Modern conveniences include power windows, a Dakota Digital gauge cluster, Vintage air conditioning, and a custom stereo with Focal speakers, amplifier, and a subwoofer mounted under the rear seat.
Key characteristics that make this vehicle special:
- Puma Defender conversion — modernizes the classic 110 with contemporary Defender styling and interior architecture
- 6.2L LT1 V8 with 8-speed automatic — a modern, powerful drivetrain swap that transforms performance and drivability
- Left-hand-drive conversion — makes this import more user-friendly for North American drivers
- Comprehensive custom leather interior — Exmoor Puma seats, dash, and trim create a premium cabin experience
- Documented build with detailed build sheet according to the seller
The Defender 110 occupies a unique position in the collector market, with values varying dramatically based on originality, condition, and the extent of modifications. Custom builds with professional drivetrain swaps and thorough restorations — particularly those with documented build sheets — represent a significant and growing segment of the market. Restomod Defenders with V8 conversions and Puma-style updates are among the most sought-after configurations, often commanding substantial premiums over original-spec trucks due to their enhanced usability and performance.
