Parts & Maintenance
We pulled together a simple list of online retailers that support the Defender industry. Parts are easily available and in most cases are received in a matter of days from these vendors.

General Pricing
With pricing for vintage Land Rover Defenders running between $10,000 USD and $250,000 USD, we get a lot of questions about this topic. While we could go into the reason why a Defender could cost a fortune, our guide is more focused on the everyday Defender driver.

Importing a Vintage Land Rover Defender
It’s likely that half the people coming to our site do so because they would like to import a Defender themselves (in an attempt to save a few dollars). We’ve written a little guide to either help you or point you in an alternative direction. It’s not easy.

Financing Your Defender
There are several ways for you to begin living out your dream behind the wheel of a vintage Land Rover Defender. If you have the luxury of writing a check or issuing a wire transfer, you’re doing pretty well. But if you’re like most of us, you realize that writing a check for between $15,000 and $100,000 can cause a little anxiety.
