Why It’s Curated: This 1995 Land Rover Defender 110 restoration by Invicta for sale in Snowmass Village, Colorado, is a beautifully built machine. It was the recipient of a nut and bolt frame off restoration by Invicta in the UK in 2022 that included a complete set of work done to the frame, exterior, interior, engine, transmission, suspension, brakes, and so on. Nothing was left untouched with this very interesting and fun 3-door Defender 110 build. With only 1,500 miles since its restoration, it’s hardly even broken in. We’d take this to the beach or up to a mountain lake asap.

Be sure to check out the nearly 350 pictures of this incredible vehicle, including those of during its restoration.
