Vehicle Description
*1996 Land Rover Defender 110 Helderberg*The Land Rover Defender
is, with good reason, one of the most beloved off-roaders of all
time. With a decades-long production run, the Defender is a truck
built to be your one-car solution - just as happy working on the
farm as it is taking you into town for a night out. With this
enthusiasm comes people who look to improve on the product, and the
Defender is without a doubt, one of the most upgraded vehicles in
the world. As most were fairly sparsely equipped, there is plenty
of room to improve them, and one of the best shops for doing that
is Helderberg. Based in Sharon Springs, New York, Helderberg
started as one man's vision to build the perfect Defender for his
lifestyle, and evolved into one of the largest Defender upfitting
outfits in the world.This 1996 Land Rover Defender 110 upgraded by
Helderberg is finished in Black Metallic over a Java and Black
two-tone leather interior. The build on this truck was completed in
May 2024 at a cost of over $300,000 and it has been driven just 479
miles since its completion. One of the most menacing looking
Defenders we have seen, this truck's black exterior is complimented
by a lifted suspension with ARB-Fox shocks and a fully powder
coated frame. A set of 16-inch 5-spoke wheels in black are wrapped
in 35-inch Cooper STT Pro M/T tires that poke out of the
over-flared fenders. Around the truck is a black-finished external
roll cage, which is paired with a tubular front bumper and
under-car front skid plate. LED lighting has been installed, along
with tubular side steps and Masai windows. Everything on the
exterior is finished in monotone black including the billet
exterior hinges and handles, completing the aggressive look.On the
inside, two-tone Ruskin Design leather Java brown and black covers
the interior. Two upgraded front bucket seats feature diamond
quilting, adjustable lumbar and reclining capabilities, and the two
middle captains chairs and inward-facing rear jump seats are
upholstered to match. In the rear, beautifully finished wood is
used on the floor, giving the interior an almost nautical feel. An
Alcantara headliner in tan has also been fitted to complete the
upscale-feel. Slide into the driver's seat and you are met with a
polished wood and aluminum 3-spoke steering wheel, and to the right
is a high-end Alpine stereo with Apple CarPlay, a backup camera and
Bluetooth capabilities.Under the hood sits one of Land Rover's most
beloved engines - the 300Tdi. This 2.5-liter turbo-diesel inline 4
is known for its low-down torque and was really the first diesel
offered in a Defender that allowed them to cruise comfortably at
highway speeds. This is paired to a 5-speed manual transmission
that sends power to all four wheels. A locking center differential
was one of the crucial features to the Defenders off-road success,
and this truck also benefits from four-wheel disc brakes and power
steering, making it far more pleasant to drive in town. While under
the care of Helderberg, the truck received a new stainless exhaust
and upgraded rear diff cover.Any classic Defender in the United
States garners attention - but as more of them are imported each
year, it can feel hard to stand out from the crowd. This example
was extensively upgraded by Heldeberg with an exceptional level of
quality and looks like no other Defender on the road. Skip the
years long wait to get one built for you, this example is
essentially brand new and ready to be enjoyed today!*Key Features*
