1996 Land Rover Defender 110

*1996 Land Rover Defender 110 Helderberg* The Land Rover Defender is, with good reason, one of the most beloved off-roaders of all time. With a decades-long production run, the Defender is a truck built to be your one-car solution - just as happy working on the farm as it is taking you into town for a night out. With this enthusiasm comes people who look to improve on the product, and the Defender is without a doubt, one of the most upgraded vehicles in the world. As most were fairly sparsely equipped, there is plenty of room to improve them, and one of the best shops for doing that is Helderberg. Based in Sharon Springs, New York, Helderberg started as one man’s vision to build the perfect Defender for his lifestyle, and evolved into one of the largest Defender upfitting outfits in the world. This 1996 Land Rover Defender 110 upgraded by Helderberg is finished in Black Metallic over a Java and Black two-tone leather interior. The build on this truck was completed in May 2024 at a cost of over $300,000 and it has been driven just 479 miles since its completion. One of the most menacing looking Defenders we have seen, this truck’s black exterior is complimented by a lifted suspension with ARB-Fox shocks and a fully powder coated frame. A set of 16-inch 5-spoke wheels in black are wrapped in 35-inch Cooper STT Pro M/T tires that poke out of the over-flared fenders. Around the truck is a black-finished external roll cage, which is paired with a tubular front bumper and under-car front skid plate. LED lighting has been installed, along with tubular side steps and Masai windows. Everything on the exterior is finished in monotone black including the billet exterior hinges and handles, completing the aggressive look. On the inside, two-tone Ruskin Design leather Java brown and black covers the interior. Two upgraded front bucket seats feature diamond quilting, adjustable lumbar and reclining capabilities, and the two middle captains chairs and inward-facing rear jump seats are upholstered to match. In the rear, beautifully finished wood is used on the floor, giving the interior an almost nautical feel. An Alcantara headliner in tan has also been fitted to complete the upscale-feel. Slide into the driver’s seat and you are met with a polished wood and aluminum 3-spoke steering wheel, and to the right is a high-end Alpine stereo with Apple CarPlay, a backup camera and Bluetooth capabilities. Under the hood sits one of Land Rover’s most beloved engines - the 300Tdi. This 2.5-liter turbo-diesel inline 4 is known for its low-down torque and was really the first diesel offered in a Defender that allowed them to cruise comfortably at highway speeds. This is paired to a 5-speed manual transmission that sends power to all four wheels. A locking center differential was one of the crucial features to the Defenders off-road success, and this truck also benefits from four-wheel disc brakes and power steering, making it far more pleasant to drive in town. While under the care of Helderberg, the truck received a new stainless exhaust and upgraded rear diff cover. Any classic Defender in the United States garners attention - but as more of them are imported each year, it can feel hard to stand out from the crowd. This example was extensively upgraded by Heldeberg with an exceptional level of quality and looks like no other Defender on the road. Skip the years long wait to get one built for you, this example is essentially brand new and ready to be enjoyed today! *Key Features* * Built by Helderberg Defender in Sharon Springs, New York * Just 479 Miles Since Completion * Over $300,000 to Build * Black Metallic Exterior Paint * ARB-Fox Shocks * Powder Coated Frame * Tubular Front Bumper * Front Skid Plate * Rear Sway Bar * 16-inch 5-Spoke Wheels * Black Finish * 35-Inch Cooper STT Pro M/T Tires * Matching Spare w/Swing-Away Carrier * Center Diff Lock * Black Billet Exterior Door Handles and Hinges * Tubular Side Steps * Painted Flexible Fender Flares * Full Roll Cage w/ Integrated Rack * Masai Windows * Custom Color Matched Grille * LED Lighting * Safari Windows * Ruskin Design Leather Interior * Java Brown/Black Leather * 3-Spoke Wood/Aluminum Steering Wheel * Alpine Stereo * Apple CarPlay * Reversing Camera * Bluetooth Connectivity * Wood Rear Floor * Rear Inward Facing Jumpseats * Cocoa Mats * Alcantara Headliner For more information on this 1996 Land Rover Defender 110 Heldreberg or any of our 150+ High-Performance, Exotic, Classic and Special Interest cars always in stock, contact one of our friendly and knowledgeable sales consultants or always feel free to drop by our 40,000+ sq ft of Indoor Showrooms in Bellevue, WA - Home of an Exciting Inventory of Luxury, Exotic, High Performance and Collectible Automobiles.
