HOW WE DO IT
We deliver high-quality vehicles for memorable experiences
INDIVIDUALLY SOURCED
Our vehicles are hand-selected from areas with the most favorable dry climates, including southern Europe or S. Africa.
SAME LOOK, NEW LIFE
We offer a full range of options and styles through rebuilds and restorations, allowing each owner to provide a new life for the next 25 years and beyond.
CUSTOMIZATIONS
Four categories with timeless class, style, and features.
While Defenders stylistically fall into four main categories, the customization options are endless and tailored to our client’s styles and personalities.
1998 Defender 110 2.8L
Bespoke BMW-Powered Defender 110 | Frame-Off Restoration
This exceptionally rare 2-Door Defender 110 is powered by the factory-installed BMW 2.8L inline-six, one of the most desirable drivetrains ever offered in a Defender. Fewer than 1,400 examples worldwide were produced with this engine, exclusively for the South African market—making this a truly collectible and investment-grade vehicle.
This example has undergone a full, frame-off restoration by 34North Defenders, blending classic heritage with modern comfort and bespoke craftsmanship.
Finished in a custom exterior color with a matching painted frame, the vehicle is complemented by white bumpers, side steps, and roll cage, creating a timeless coastal-inspired aesthetic. A tan soft top completes the open-air driving experience.
Inside, the cabin has been thoughtfully reimagined with custom two-tone leather upholstery, a handcrafted wood steering wheel, and modern conveniences including:
- Air Conditioning
- Power Windows
- Sony 9500ES Infotainment System
- Apple CarPlay & Android Auto
- Backup Camera
Every detail has been curated to deliver both authenticity and daily usability—perfect for coastal cruising and weekend adventures.
This Defender represents what 34North does best: starting with a rare, high-quality donor and transforming it into a vehicle built to create stories for the next 25+ years.
