Vehicle Description
If you're into Land Rovers, then you should already know Arkonik.
They are a specialty company that fully restores classic 4x4s so
that they are capable and comfortable. These are no expense spared
customs, and so this 1988 Land Rover Defender 110 Arkonik is truly
a unique machine that is designed to turn heads in-town and lead
the way off-road.
Arkonik's business model is all about starting with quality Land
Rover in the UK and rebuilding them to a standard that's modern and
better than new. So you should understand its real age less by the
model year and more about how the odometer has less than 5,300
miles on it since Arkonik completed the build. The Santorini Black
paint is a metallic color borrowed from the modern Range Rover
line. It sets the tone nicely for a machine that's made to be both
mean and premium. This one really goes for a dark side look with
components that add attitude and function. This includes the bull
bar with integrated Warn Zeon 12k winch, tubular side step rails,
tubular rear bumper w/hitch, 16-inch Mach 5 wheels, and a ladder to
help get to the full roof rack. Plus, there's a nice hint of silver
on the upgraded KBX grille and diamond plate rockers. And no matter
if you're in the wilderness or the urban jungle, the upgraded full
lighting package (including plenty of LEDs) knows how to show the
way forward.
The interior is another strong point of the Arkonik packaging. They
know how to add a ton of comfort without losing the go-anywhere
Land Rover spirit. This long wheelbase Defender 110 now has two
rows Elite sport seats done in a supple two-tone leather. There are
even locking center consoles on both rows. This has more upgraded
comfort, including a wood and chrome sports steering wheel,
sunroof, tinted windows, and an AM/FM infotainment system with
Bluetooth and Apple CarPlay. There's even cold-blowing air
conditioning. And don't forget, these Defenders have the handy four
jump seats in the rear. So you've got room for plenty of cargo or
have the option of carrying up to seven people besides
yourself.
The 3.5-liter V8 was born in the USA and honed for generations at
Land Rover. And because it has been around for decades, parts
accessibility is as globally available as this 4x4. Arkonik works
on all aspects, including the motor, and so the odometer reflects
the mileage since the V8 was rebuilt. Plus, this one has upgrades
like an Edelbrock four-barrel carburetor and Edelbrock intake. It's
a strong runner that's always ready for its next adventure. Plus,
the two-speed 4x4 transfer case, two-inch suspension lift, and BF
Goodrich All Terrain tires makes sure that you can keep going even
when the trail ends. But there's more to this than just all-out
off-road dominance. The control of the five-speed manual
transmission, power steering, and power brakes with front discs
make this a lively vehicle for a night on the town.
The sale comes complete with the owner's manual and a full
breakdown of all the work that Arkonik did to make this Land Rover
so distinct and all-around useful. So if you demand the best, don't
let something this unique slip away. Call today!!!
