1983 Land Rover Defender Description

This one of a kind Defender is for sale at Prestige Imports
Legally imported to the United States in May 2014, it is an immaculate 32 year old Land Rover Defender 110, originally from Switzerland, now US registered with a clean Florida title. It has undergone extensive transformation work but importantly maintains an immaculate original chassis and with a strong mechanical setup and zero rust. There is no other Defender like this in the US!!
This car is about to be your new favorite beach vehicle. Perfect for the summer around Miami but With it’s dual stainless steel custom exhaust which creates such a great V8 rumble, it’s low end torque and it’s long four speed stick shift this Defender turns heads everywhere it goes. Also hit the highway at a comfortably 60 - 65mph with a top speed of around 80mph but the Defenders were never built for speed so this is perfectly suited for around town and off road. I've been using it without doors as I like the keyless entry aspect of it...but the versatility of it’s design allows half doors to be put back on within an hour or so if desired.
Mechanical
It retains original gas 3.5L V8 which has very low 50k miles on it, starts first time and is fitted with a custom dual Magnaflow exhaust, Edelbrock manifold system and a 4 speed manual stick shift. It has been upgraded with high end Optima battery relocated into the engine compartment, new shocks, new suspension, new steering and lots more. I also have had it fitted with a hidden kill switch for theft protection.
Exterior
Finished in Land Rover Orkney Grey on a back to bare metal bodywork prep, fitted with the modern style puma hood, NAS rear step, color coded wing mirrors, LED day time running lights, steering guard, raptor lined tubular side steps, LED side marker upgrade, 16” black alloy wheels with General Grabber tires, satin black steering guard, KBX wing top vents with Satin black OEM grill and headlamp surrounds.
