Sarge

A unique overlanding Defender 110 300Tdi

---

This Land Rover Defender has recently been adopted. But don’t worry, we are always on the hunt for cool and unique Defenders to be refreshed or built to your needs. Contact us on the form below for more information.

Sarge is located at our Minneapolis shop where we are determining what do do with her next. She has an amazing history of green laning through the Lakes District in the UK, which means she has a few dents and dings here and there. The more we drive her the more we come to appreciate the character of the Defender.

The vehicle runs and drives amazing, and has been the daily driver for our founder since she arrived in Minneapolis.  Contact us if you’re interested and we can talk about the refresh plan.

Restoration Notes:

We’ve evaluated Sarge for a potential restoration project, but fell in love with the character of the vehicle.  We decided to go through and do a mechanical refresh to ensure all elements are working as they should – providing an exceptional based Land Rover Defender 110 to begin your next adventures.  The doors show signs of plenty of off-road and green lane adventures in England.

We are planning on upgrading the interior with a re-trim package of new seats, which should tidy it up quite nicely.  We’re going through all the door elements to make sure they operate properly. New door and window seals are being replaced.  Currently has an aftermarket CD player which will come with a free Lynyrd Skynyrd CD – we will be upgrading the speakers to ensure proper road-trip tunes can be played.

The rear cross member has been replaced, meaning that you’ll have a good base to use as a towing vehicle.  The rest of the body is in exceptional shape.

We were considering the following:

1. Sound deadening and new carpet or rubber sound mat
2. Door skin replacement and paint matching for the 4 doors
3. Rear conversion for a kitchenette for camping
4. Addition of roof top tent
