This 1988 Land Rover Defender 110 is a right-hand-drive "Beach Runner" that's been meticulously restored by Scully Offroad and affiliates in Sacramento, California. It blends the legendary off-road capability of the Defender platform with thoughtful modern enhancements, including a rebuilt 200 TDI engine, heavy-duty Ashcroft R380 gearbox, and upgraded suspension and brakes. The body was stripped down, refinished in Toyota Cavalry Blue, and fitted with all new sheet metal.

With just 4,700 miles on the rebuilt drivetrain, it's offered with a clean California title and a clean Carfax report.

  • A Classic Reimagined:  The Land Rover Defender 110 is a global icon known for its durability, simplicity, and capability. This build preserves the rugged utility of the original while introducing tasteful upgrades that enhance comfort, drivability, and long-term value.
  • Rebuilt 200TDI + Ashcroft R380:  Power comes from a fully rebuilt 200TDI 2.5L turbodiesel inline-four paired with an Ashcroft R380 5-speed manual and a dual-range transfer case with locking center differential. It's also fitted with an uprated VNT turbo, AliSport cooling system, and Discovery II rear axle with four-wheel disc brakes and HydraBoost assist.
  • New Metal, New Paint, New Top:  All body panels except the hood were replaced before a high-end repaint in Toyota Cavalry Blue. A premium black Mohair soft top with roll-up sides is installed, and exterior upgrades include LED lighting, Boost alloy wheels, an intake snorkel, brush guard, and tubular rock sliders.
  • Refined and Rebuilt Interior:  Inside, you'll find black leather Discovery II power front seats, a split-folding second row, Exmoor Trim rubber and carpet flooring, and sound-deadening insulation throughout. A CD stereo with built-in amp and hidden subwoofer rounds out the cabin, and GlowShift instrumentation keeps you dialed in.

This isn't just another imported Defender - it's a fully refurbished and thoughtfully upgraded build with modern creature comforts and proven mechanical upgrades. The work done by Scully Offroad speaks for itself, and with a clean California title, right-hand-drive layout, and standout paint, it's a turn-key classic ready for the beach, the backcountry, or the boulevard.
