For diesel truck and SUV lovers who appreciate classic style blended with functional modern performance and amenities, this standard-wheelbase five-door 1997 Land Rover Defender 110 restomod by Osprey Custom 4X4 is pure magic. While this particular Land Rover restomod sold immediately after completion, the good news is that you can order one just like it—custom-built to conquer any terrain in style, starting around $240,000.

Built By The Best: Osprey Custom 4X4

Based in North Carolina, Osprey Custom 4X4 is renowned for its high-end, frame-off Defender restorations and diesel conversions. This 1997 D110, finished in eye-catching Grasmere Green with a contrasting Fuji White roof, showcases the company’s meticulous craftsmanship and attention to detail. Built on a fully powder-coated chassis and packed with top-tier components, this Land Rover restomod is ready for both the street and the trail—if you’re brave enough.

Exterior Built For Adventure

The Defender features black Land Rover badging, factory-style mud flaps, and a tasteful window tint (20–25% in the rear, slight in front). Functional upgrades include rock sliders, a full exo-cage, and a roof basket for added protection and cargo capacity. This Defender is as capable as it is cool.

Power And Performance: Cummins-Powered Precision

Under the hood, the Cummins R2.8 turbodiesel engine is mated to an R380 manual transmission—an ideal combo for diesel purists who want torque, efficiency, and engagement. A performance exhaust enhances breathing and sound, while color-matched valve covers with red lettering add custom flair. Stopping power comes from Alcon drilled and slotted rotors paired with red calipers, making this restomod as safe as it is stylish.

Chassis, Suspension, And Wheel Upgrades

Terrafirma springs, shocks, steering rods, and a stabilizer deliver improved ride quality and off-road articulation. ARB air lockers and front/rear sway bars ensure maximum traction when it counts. Classic white Wolf wheels wrapped in 285/75/R16 BFG KO2s complete the rugged stance.

Luxury Interior Meets Utility

Step inside the nine-seater to find a luxurious yet functional cabin. Heated captain’s chairs are joined by a split bench and four rear inward-facing seats, all wrapped in premium leather. An Alcantara headliner, mahogany rear flooring with LED rope lighting, and a prominent front center console add elegance. Modern amenities include Apple CarPlay, a Kenwood stereo, two wireless chargers, vintage gauges, rear air conditioning, and a full sound system with subwoofer and backup camera.
