1992 Land Rover Defender 110 High Capacity – 200Tdi Diesel (LHD)

ABOUT NAAH

This Defender has recently been sold/adopted.

This was going to be our workshop truck in Spain, but once we took it through a partial restoration process, we realized that it might be too nice for us to use hauling around old parts.  As a result, we decided to see if there is interest in having her relocated to the United States. We still have a few finishing touches left before she’s finished, but we are very close.

ABOUT THIS PROJECT

This Defender 110 High-Capacity is one of those unique trucks that can be a daily driver or a ranch workhorse.  It has an ultra-reliable 200Tdi engine that will cruise along in urban environments and can haul your gear and hunt out from the field.

OUR BUILD PLAN

We started with a simple refresh, which became an excellent sympathetic restoration. Here are a few photos from when we started the project.

SAMPLE PRICING

Each Land Rover Defender project is different.  Our pricing is extremely transparent and depends upon each client’s desired features, accessories, and restoration level.  Here is an example of pricing based on this particular Defender.

Tier One: Bishop+Rook Certified  – Price Listed Above

This price is based on our level-one mechanical certification service – timing belt, water pump, alternator, starter, radiator, brakes, bearings, etc.  Basically, an excellent running and driving Land Rover Defender that will take you on plenty of adventures without fear of being abandoned on the side of the road.  Cosmetically, the vehicle will be clean and tidy, with no significant issues hidden.  You can enjoy this state forever or use it as a foundation for future upgrades, enhancements, or refurbishments.

Tier Two: Bishop+Rook Preservation Class – $59,500 (Starting Price)

Note: We have completed many of these items but are currently keeping the price at the entry level.  The price will be adjusted as we finish the project and ship it.

This will include more extensive mechanical and cosmetic preservation of the vehicle.  We will go through both the interior and exterior of the Defender to ensure everything is sorted correctly. This will include all the tier one mechanical elements above but also includes a deeper dive into chassis re-conditioning, interior trimming (headliner, dash trim, door card refurbishment, seat trimming as needed), replacement of seals, tyres, upgraded battery, and repairs to body panels that might need addressing (door bottoms, bulkhead, etc.).  Mechanically, we will pull the engine for a full refurbishment whilst doing a more extensive mechanical refurbishment.

Tier Three: Bishop+Rook Preservation Class Plus – $65,250 (Starting Price)

This level of restoration will include all the elements above but also a partial disassembly of the vehicle to respray in a similar (or close to) paint color.  This oftentimes includes replacing the doors and other body panels that may show signs of wear.  All interior elements will be stripped out and refurbished. The headliner will be re-trimmed, interior panels replaced or retrimmed, new floor coverings (carpet and/or sound deadening mats), Tier III sound deadening system put in place, chassis treated (inside and out) for corrosion, axles refurbished, gearbox renewed, transfer case renewed, and additional options for wheels/tryes, The vehicle will feel like a time capsule when you sit in her – with just enough character preserved.

Tier Four: Bishop+Rook Heritage Class Restoration – $75,000 (estimated)

This restoration level is much more extensive than above, which starts with a complete disassembly of the vehicle (every panel, every nut-and-bolt, and every fastener.  This process includes stripping the chassis bare and putting it through media blasting to bring it back to bare metal.  Any rust or corrosion issues will be rectified before the chassis is sealed and painted to your specifications (raptor, satin, high gloss, etc.).  All axles will be media blasted and painted to suit.  All mechanical components will be restored: engine rebuild, gearbox, transfer case, differentials, etc.  The Interior will be retrimmed, including seats, headliner, and door cards.  New/refreshed window glass, seals, and other trim panels will be replaced with new.

Tier Five: Bishop+Rook Bespoke Class Restoration – $95,000+ (based on features)

Our Bespoke class of builds allows for more customization options for each build.  Customers can choose interior retrimming styles, a deeper level of restoration, and more external paint options – including upgrades like air conditioning, roof racks, offroad accessories, and more.  This class of vehicles includes more performance upgrade options to tune the vehicle to your ultimate use (daily driving, offroad, hybrid, etc.).  The vehicle will be better than new once it completes this process and will become an investment-grade restoration.

THE BISHOP+ROOK BUILD DIFFERENCE

The difference between a Bishop+Rook Defender and a regular imported Defender on the market comes down to the hundreds (sometimes thousands) of hours we will spend to make them reliable and safe daily drivers. If you’re looking to build a custom Defender, check out our handy online pricing tool.

STARTING THE PROCESS

For those of you just starting your research on Defenders, there are a few areas you will want to learn about (maintenance, driving experience, and budget).  For the last part – budget – we’ve recently launched a “Defender Budget Pricing Calculator” to help folks understand the different levels of pricing you should expect to see on the market.

A DEFENDER FOR EVERYONE

Whether you’re looking for a unique low-mileage Defender survivor or a complete nut-and-bolt bespoke restoration, we want to be the team that provides you with your dream vehicle. When other companies focus on cheap mechanical nightmares, or Defenders costing the same price as a house, we focus instead on – Defenders for the regular person. All of our Defenders undergo an extensive mechanical refresh to ensure years of reliable adventures.  From there, you can decide how much further you want to go with a restoration.

Maintaining the charm and character of a vintage Land Rover Defender pays to respect to the adventures that came before, while planning adventures yet to be explored.

Restore only what’s needed. Refresh the rest for peace of mind.
