Why the British Racing Green Land Rover Defender 110 Is the Ultimate Modern-Classic
Phoenix Restorations is a family-run outfit with a build shop in İzmir, Türkiye and a dedicated presence in Miami, Florida, specializes in Land Rover modifications including the Defenders and the Land Rover Series. We marry artisan craftsmanship with modern convenience. Having imported into EU in our previous builds, our first U.S. import is the British Racing Green Land Rover Defender 110. This 110 pickup will turn heads in Palm Beach, and yet feels equally at home as a safari Land Rover or in full Land Rover Defender military guise.
Our team’s recent research into Google search trends showed people looking up search terms such as “Land Rover looking SUV” and “classic Land Rover Defender SUV” proving how much the Land Rover silhouette still captivates drivers who crave rugged style and practicality.
Built on the Most Trusted Power-Plant
Some Discovery and Range Rover engines — 2.7 TDV6, 3.0 TDV6, and 4.0 / 4.6 GEMS/Bosch V8 — are notorious for snapped cranks and slipped liners. We chose the 300Tdi with the 5-speed R380 instead. As Helderburg Defenders notes, this all-mechanical diesel “has been documented to exceed one million miles with proper care,” thanks to beefy internals, simple electronics-free design, and global parts availability.
Why Defender Values Keep Climbing
Clean Defenders grow rarer as the world pivots to electric, and market trackers agree these classics are appreciating assets.
- Up to $200 K at auction — see Import Motor Werx’s overview of soaring Defender values.
- Three- to seven-fold appreciation in 20 years — outlined in Red Fox Automotive’s 2025 market report.
