Classic 4x4 is proud to present this frame-off restored and modified 1991 Land Rover Defender 110 3-Door “Beach Runner.” No detail was overlooked in the restoration of this iconic 4x4 — representing the perfect blend of original heritage with modern comforts and drivability.
 
Finished in striking Nara Bronze and complemented by a Coffee full soft top and two Coffee and Wine bimini soft tops, this Defender commands attention while staying true to its heritage. Inside, the 10-passenger custom upholstered interior is finished in Wine leather accented by diamond-stitched inserts and French-stitched seams. German square weave carpeting, nautical-inspired custom teak wood finishes and a built-in beverage and glassware bar adorn the passenger area. Modern comforts and drivability include custom marine-grade canvas soft tops, touchscreen digital media stereo, air conditioning, back-up camera, charging ports, LED lighting, coil spring suspension, four-wheel power disc brakes, and power steering.
 
Power comes from a replacement rebuilt fuel-injected 3.9L Rover V8 gasoline engine, paired with a ZF 4HP22 4-speed automatic transmission and Rover LT230 dual-range transfer case. A Rover 24-spline constant variable front axle and Salisbury heavy-duty 24-spline rear axle deliver legendary four-wheel-drive capability.

History
Introduced by Land Rover as the 110 in 1984 and renamed the Defender 110 in 1990, the model remained in continuous production for 32 years until 2016 — making it one of the most iconic and collectible Land Rovers ever produced, celebrated for its rugged simplicity and timeless design.
 
This 1991 Defender 110 L315 was built at the Land Rover factory in Solihull, United Kingdom on April 19, 1991 for the Sultan of Oman’s Armed Forces. After retiring from military service with reportedly only 77,454 kilometers, it was acquired by the current owner in 2023 and relocated to the United Arab Emirates, where it underwent a comprehensive frame-off restoration and modification. As part of the owner’s global private Land Rover collection, the vehicle remained in the United Arab Emirates before being relocated to the United States collection in 2025.
 
The Defender holds a clean and clear Montana title in the current owner’s Montana LLC and is located in Spring Lake, New Jersey. The replacement odometer reads approximately 593 miles, representing mileage since restoration; true mileage is unknown. There are no known mechanical, electrical, structural, or significant cosmetic deficiencies, consistent with a high-quality restoration.
 
Exterior
The exterior presents exceptionally well, with impeccable attention to detail as expected from a frame-off restoration. The original aluminum body is finished in ceramic-coated Nara Bronze with removable upper door windows. Three custom marine-grade canvas soft tops, a Coffee full soft top providing year-round comfort and two bimini soft tops in Coffee and Wine for open air enjoyment.  The full soft top features roll-up windows, stainless steel hardware and leather strapping and the bimini soft tops cover the passenger area and feature webbed strapping.  The driver and passenger half doors allow for the removal of the top window sections.
