Restored Land Rover Defender

Land Rover Defenders have undergone a comprehensive refurbishment process to bring them back to their original and, in our case, extremely improved restored condition. Land Rover is a renowned British automotive brand known for manufacturing robust and versatile off-road vehicles. The Landrovers is a car-loving company based in The Netherlands that specializes in classic Land Rover Defenders restoration.

Custom Land Rover Defenders restoration at The Landrovers involves repairing, rebuilding, and upgrading various components to enhance both the aesthetics and functionality of these unique and iconic vehicles.

Restoration processes may vary depending on the specific model and the desired outcome. However, common steps involved in restoring a Land Rover Defender typically include the following steps.

Stripping the Land Rover Defender

Stripping down one of the Defender donor cars to the bare body. The Land Rover Defender is disassembled, and all parts are inspected to determine their condition and identify any areas that need restoration or replacement. Components of the Defender that can be reused are stored in a box with a name tag on it. In this way parts and body will stay together.

Ready for the restored Defender's bodywork

The bodywork means that rust and corrosion are removed. The body panels will most often be restored. At The Landrovers we’ll never repair parts; we deliver a completely restored Land Rover Defender. The Defender’s frame however, is always reinforced to ensure structural integrity – since the restored vehicle has to be safe with a Corvette V8 engine and at high speed.

Restored Defender's components

The engine is sometimes overhauled but usually brand new. At this stage, we’ll replace worn-out parts and the fuel system, and recondition or renew the cooling system of the restored Land Rover Defender. A new engine is placed, all to the wishes of the customer. The transmission, drivetrain, suspension, and braking system will undergo upgradesH2 The electrical system of the restored Land Rover Defender

Renewing the classic Defender’s electrical system means replacing the wiring to the wishes of the customer. With our restored Defenders, new wiring is indispensable. This means new wiring for all electrical components, such as lights, switches, winch, radio, and gauges, is installed.

Defender interior restoration

The interior of the restored Land Rover Defender is completely new, including the seats, dashboard, carpeting, and other trim components. Upholstery will be sewn by our upholstery guys to match the desired design, and customized to the owner’s preferences.

Paint and finish for the restored Defender

Then the restored Land Rover Defender body is prepared and repainted, using high-quality automotive paint to achieve a factory-fresh appearance. The restored Defender may receive its original color but more often the customers choose their own color.

Depending on the owner’s preferences, various accessories and modifications will be added during the restoration process. This will include modern features such as sound systems, navigation units, or off-road enhancements like upgraded tires, winches, and roof racks.
