Land Rover Defender Series II (1961)
for sale

Price: US $37,000.00

Description:

You will not find many vintage Rovers as nice as this one! Complete restoration from head to toe. I tried to keep much of the original vintage look while adding some really cool upgrades and accessories along the way. I came across this diamond in the rough about 1 year ago and as soon as I set eyes on it I knew this had the potential to be an incredible ride. My passion is the journey of a restoration so it’s time for me to move on to the next project.
