Sahara Dust D110 Heritage
About the Build
When the customer commissioned this Shoreline D110 Heritage build, the goal was to retain the classic Land Rover aesthetic while elevating the vehicle with extraordinary modern creature comforts and reliability. The customer chose to transform the powertrain with a commanding GM LS3 6.2 V8 engine paired with an automatic transmission for a smooth, effortless driving experience. Aesthetically, the build was specified in a stunning Sahara Dust paint and paired with 16-inch cream steel deep dish wheels. Inside, the extended cabin was completely reimagined to comfortably accommodate eight passengers in pure vintage luxury, featuring full Chocolate fluted leather, premium Recaro seating, front and rear air conditioning, and a modern pop-out Pioneer infotainment screen. The result is a fully rebuilt 2025 Defender that seamlessly marries rugged heritage with uncompromising modern luxury.
