Quick FAQ
How does a Defender drive?
Picture the stance and height of a Jeep Wrangler or a Ford Ranger, with the understated charm of a vintage G-Wagen. It’s taller and sturdier than most SUVs and trades silent cabins for raw mechanical feel, perfect for weekend runs to Key Biscayne or Wynwood coffee spots.
Will people stare?
Yes, and that’s half the fun. A restored classic Land Rover Defender can draw more camera phones than some supercars. As luxurious as sports cars may be, you can be confident that the shape, look, accents, and rarity of your Defender will remain unmatched. Expect polite questions and plenty of compliments when you valet your vehicle.
3. Are the lights highway-ready?
We install full LED lighting, including headlamps, DRLs, brake lamps, and a work light for those late-night Jet Ski hookups at Black Point Marina.
4. How about stopping power and safety?
Every build swaps in four-wheel disc brakes, stainless lines, and modern calipers (cross-drilled rotors optional). No airbags, but the steel ladder frame and new inertia-reel seatbelts add real peace of mind.
5. Is maintenance complicated?
One of the best parts of the 300TDi engine is that it has no ECU and the engine power is purely mechanical. Diagnosing an issue and repair is less complicated and easier than most vehicles of today. So any competent 4×4 shop can handle oil, filters, and belts.
6. Can I try before I buy?
Absolutely. We keep inventory titled and insured in Miami. Hit I-95, cruise Ocean Drive, or tackle a short off-road loop west of the city to feel the difference between diesel torque and petrol punch.
