Only 500 of these were ever made. Hand built for the American market. All identical. All Alpine White. Each with a 3.9 litre V8, roll cage, roof rack, side steps, brush bar, rear benches, and air conditioning, every option, already chosen. The first Defender that felt like an object of desire.

This particular car was one of the few that escaped the U.S. It was imported new to Germany in 1993, lived its life entirely on European roads, and later passed into the hands of a collector who began restoring it with an obsession for originality. He gathered new old stock parts for years. We finished what he started, carefully.

We preserved what made it special. The Alpine White body remains untouched, with all its purity and presence. Mechanically, every system, drivetrain, suspension, cooling, ignition, brakes was rebuilt to perfection. Invisible upgrades only where reliability demanded them. It feels factory-tight, but better.

Inside, we allowed ourselves one liberty, a CNV light touch. Blue Ocean leather and blue Alcantara, executed with the same precision as our bespoke builds, but designed as an ode to the interiors of American icons. Park Avenue Electra-grade plush, recast for a Defender.

Everything else remains true. Every bolt, bracket, and seal restored or replaced with NOS hardware.

Fewer than 500 of these survive. And among them, this may be the only one delivered new into Europe, a NAS 110 that never saw American soil.
