Few Defenders in the U.S. market can claim this level of documented investment and specialist pedigree. This example was comprehensively restored and reengineered by East Coast Rover of Rockland, Maine -- widely regarded among Defender cognoscenti as one of the premier restoration shops in the country -- representing over $310,000 in documented build costs. The original gasoline engine was replaced with a 2.4L Puma turbo-diesel mated to a 6-speed manual, a combination that transforms highway usability while preserving the mechanical honesty the platform is known for. The rear tub was upgraded to 2007 specification, the suspension converted to air, and AP Racing brakes fitted for modern stopping confidence. Land Rover 18-inch wheels wearing Cooper tires, Recaro heated and ventilated front seats, LED lighting, Bluetooth, and a backup camera round out a build that is genuinely turnkey. The Santorini Black exterior is protected with full paint protection film. At just 22,682 actual miles, this Defender has been lightly used since its transformation. This is the right choice for the buyer who wants a bespoke, professionally built Defender without the multi-year commissioning process.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCheck out the pictures in the gallery \u0026amp; use the contact form to get in touch with us and the seller to ask questions and\/or make an offer for this vehicle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eVehicle Details:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cbr\u003eYear: 1993\u003cbr\u003eMake: Land Rover \u003cbr\u003eModel: Defender \u003cbr\u003eTrim: 110 NAS \u003cbr\u003eDrive: 4X4\u003cbr\u003eMiles: 22,682\u003cbr\u003eMileage Verification: Actual Miles \u003cbr\u003eFuel Type: Diesel\u003cbr\u003eTransmission: Manual (3 Pedals)\u003cbr\u003eNumber of Forward Gears: 6\u003cbr\u003eEngine: 2007 2.4 Puma\u003cbr\u003eExterior Color: Santorini Black\u003cbr\u003eInterior Color: Black\u003cbr\u003eState of Registration: CA \u003cbr\u003eVehicle Location: Santa Barbara \u003cbr\u003eVIN: Available Upon Request \u003cbr\u003eTitle: Clean \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDetails:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eEngine \u0026amp; Transmission:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cbr\u003eEngine Modifications: No\u003cbr\u003eTransmission Modifications: Yes\u003cbr\u003e6 Speed Manual\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDrivetrain, Suspension, Tires \u0026amp; Brakes:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDrivetrain Modifications: No\u003cbr\u003eSuspension Modifications: Yes\u003cbr\u003eAir suspension\u003cbr\u003eWheel Size and Offset: 285\/R18\u003cbr\u003eWheel Brand and Model: Land Rover\u003cbr\u003eTire Brand, Model, and Size: Cooper\u003cbr\u003eType of Brakes: AP Racing\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eExterior \u0026amp; Interior: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePPF = Paint Protection Film\u003cbr\u003e1993 Land Rover Defender 110 NAS This exceptional 1993 Land Rover Defender 110 NAS represents \u003cbr\u003eInterior Material: Leather \u003cbr\u003eInterior Modifications: No\u003cbr\u003eWorking Heat: Yes \u003cbr\u003eWorking Air Conditioning: Yes\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOther Notable Features or Functions:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eOver $310,000 in documented investment and was comprehensively restored and reengineered by East Coast Rover of Rockland, Maine, widely regarded as one of the premier Defender restoration specialists in the United States.

Homologated specifically to meet U.S. and Canadian federal safety and emissions standards, the NAS 110 was built on the long-wheelbase platform that traced its lineage directly to the original Series Land Rovers. Power came from the 3.9-liter Rover V8, paired exclusively with the LT77S 5-speed manual gearbox -- a drivetrain combination that required significant engineering effort to satisfy North American regulatory requirements. The body-on-frame construction, coil-sprung long-travel suspension, and permanent four-wheel drive with a two-speed transfer case reflected the engineering philosophy Land Rover had refined over decades. Facing contemporaries like the Toyota Land Cruiser 80 Series in the North American market, the Defender 110 occupied a distinct position as a purpose-built, utilitarian off-roader. Its single-year NAS availability in the 110 body style -- never repeated -- and the regulatory complexity of its homologation make it among the most historically significant Defenders to reach American shores.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Land Rover","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53706694787391,"sku":null,"price":250000.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0812\/8095\/8783\/files\/IMG_6889_7a5ec4f3-6dcf-461e-94e2-b961d009e3f2.jpg?v=1782245627","url":"https:\/\/curatedovrlnd.com\/products\/1993-land-rover-defender-110-nas-1","provider":"CURATED OVR LND","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
