Custom Land Rover Defender 90 LS3 6.2L V8

1990 Land Rover Defender

Tophat Classics has an international reputation for high end builds and restorations of luxurious Land Rover Defenders. Based in both the Netherlands, nearby Amsterdam, as in the US, in Tempe Arizona, we are an established, leading specialist in restoration, modification and customization.
For sale here is one of our Land Rover Defender 90 convertible vehicles, which has undergone a total restoration. After the vehicle was acquired by us it was disassembled entirely and thoroughly inspected to assess the condition of the chassis and the individual body panels.
Once the chassis was modified to accept the new engine it was sent for acid dipping for a good clean and rust removal. After this, it was e-coated which is a special paint process that ensures that even all the hard to reach areas are covered in a very hard wearing coating which will prevent any rust developing in the future.
All body panels which weren't perfect were replaced and then painted in matte tan, after which they were wax-oiled throughout, yet again to prevent corrosion.
The Tophat LS3 conversion is the most thorough conversion available and the complete drive train and suspension were re-developed to cope with the high power and torque ratings of the LS engine. It''s not just a big engine in there, it's the rest of the development which is impressive. This setup offers a reliable, fast, well handling and comfortable Defender.
Following this the car was built up to the following specifications using only new parts throughout.
