Overview

This is the SVMC Defender that we bought a few years ago from a dealer in SoCal and then proceeded to restore the truck while making tasteful upgrades. This was a strong truck when we bought it, but it needed many of the auxiliary systems replaced or serviced to keep it on the road for years to come. We also did the usual upgrades to make this a more capable off-roader as well as a comfortable daily driver. No expense was spared and we used OEM parts or the highest quality aftermarket parts available. We have every receipt and a complete itemized build sheet along with all service records. We spent over $110K on this trunk and countless hours. All the recent service work was done by vintage Land Rover specialists in the Bay Area and we can put you in touch with their mechanics who know this truck well. This truck spent most of its life in CA but did spend some time in ID and WA. We have tried to gather complete records and history which we can share. There is no rust and everything works (yes even all the electrical bits). If you know about Defenders from the 90’s you know the NAS version was a very limited run as they only imported a couple thousand each year in 1994, 1995, and 1997 (they didn’t import any in 1996 due to an accounting error). This is truck #1317 and carries an official Land Rover certificate and numbered plate. For a complete write up of the build with countless pictures check out our dedicated build page.
