This Landrover Defender 110 was a military vehicle, used by the French army. Now it's being rebuilt to become an overlanding / expedition vehicle.
This Landrover Defender 110 was the perfect canvas to build our expedition vehicle for overlanding throughout Europe.

The Defender 110 spent a lot of time in North Africa and had loads of red dirt stuck pretty much everywhere. The benefit was that there pretty much no rust present. The engine is low mileage and runs perfectly.
Much of the major work had to be performed on the exterior as the body had seen better days as you can see below. This was no problem as a complete exterior rebuilt was what we had planned anyway. Soon our vision became reality and we could not love it any more.
The Defender 110 before the exterior rebuild:
