FAQ

  • What makes the Defender 110 different from the Defender 90?

    The Defender 110 features a longer wheelbase than the Defender 90, offering more interior space, improved comfort for passengers, and greater cargo capacity. It's a top choice for overlanding, family use, or anyone wanting more utility from their Land Rover.

  • Is the Defender 110 a good daily driver?

    Yes, especially when rebuilt or customized. A restored Defender 110 with modern suspension, air conditioning, upgraded brakes, and soundproofing can be a capable and stylish daily driver that turns heads and handles city traffic or long road trips with ease.

  • How much does a custom Defender 110 cost?

    Prices vary based on spec, but a full custom Defender 110 typically ranges from $120,000 to $200,000+. Factors like engine choice (e.g. LS3 V8, electric, TD5), interior finishes, and soft-top or hard-top configuration all affect final pricing.

  • Can I get a soft top Defender 110?

    Absolutely. Soft top conversions are one of the most popular options for beach-ready or summer-style builds. At Shoreline Vehicles, soft top Defender 110s are fully waterproofed, trimmed in marine-grade materials, and engineered to handle daily use.

  • Are Defender 110s reliable?

    A factory-original Defender 110 may come with quirks due to age or wear. However, restored or custom Defender 110s can be extremely reliable — especially when built with upgraded drivetrains, electricals, and corrosion-protected chassis. Reliability depends on build quality, not just the badge.

  • How long does a Defender 110 build take?

    A full custom Defender 110 build typically takes 6 to 12 months, depending on parts availability, drivetrain selection, and custom features. Shoreline Vehicles provides transparent timelines and build updates throughout the process.

  • What is the difference between the Defender 90 and Defender 110?

    The Defender 90 is the shorter wheelbase version of the classic Land Rover Defender. It has a more compact footprint, making it nimble and ideal for off-road use or city driving. The Defender 110, by contrast, offers more interior space and rear passenger access.

  • Can I daily drive a Defender 90?

    Yes — when properly restored or customized, a Defender 90 can be a reliable and enjoyable daily driver. Upgrades like power steering, modern suspension, air conditioning, and soundproofing make it far more comfortable for everyday use compared to the original factory spec.

  • How much does a restored or custom Defender 90 cost?

    A fully restored or custom Defender 90 typically ranges from $100,000 to $180,000, depending on specs like engine choice (LS3, TD5, or EV), interior trim level, soft or hard top, and upgrade packages. Every build is unique and tailored to the buyer.

  • Can I get a soft top version of the Defender 90?

    Yes. Soft top Defender 90s are extremely popular for summer driving, beach use, and open-air cruising. At Shoreline Vehicles, soft top conversions are fully waterproof, durable, and available with custom canvas colors and marine-grade interior materials.

  • How long does a Defender 90 restoration take?
