  V8Porsche Miami BlueLow Original MilesShown here is a full body off

  restored Defender 110 Soft Top that went through a whole truck load

  (pun intended) of tasteful modifications and performance upgrades.

  This 1989 model was factory built with the 3.5L V8 and was

  purchased by Car Cave with less than 60,000 original miles prior to

  the restoration. We gave this Defender the code name Big Willie as

  a tribute to Will Smith's (an icon since the 90's just like the

  Defender!) hit song Miami on the Big Willie Style album. Why? The

  Defender is finished in Porsche Miami Blue (Color Code M5C) which

  pairs perfect with the Exmoor Trim Camel Fluted leather interior

  and black accents.The Defender was sold new in Greece and purchased

  by our Athens location. When we found this Defender it had a

  straight body and rust free chassis. All of the original spot welds

  on the tub were in place and it was a great base for an epic build.

  We could easily recognize upon inspection this Defender lived its

  life in the dry Greek climate and was well taken care of throughout

  its life. Car Cave then painstakingly stripped this Defender down

  to the chassis for a mechanical rebuild and completed a full

  rotisserie respray of the body.Upgrades and Features:Holley Sniper

  drive with the factory built 3.5L Rover V8 that has been

  performance modified with a Edelbrock Performer Intake, Holley

  Sniper Fuel Injection, headers, and stainless steel exhaust. We

  have the tune on the Sniper EFI kit dialed in nicely and the

  Defender cruisers down the interstate. The Safety Devices 6 point

  roll cage provides excellent rollover protection. Safety Devices

  was the vendor Land Rover used to get the North American Spec

  Defenders certified by NHSTA for legal road use in the United

  States. If you look at all of the 1993 Defender 110 US Spec models

  and all NAS Defender 90 models, they feature a Safety Devices roll

  cage. We also love the look and contrasting black color. Our color

  pallet for the Defender build stuck to Porsche Miami Blue, Camel

  Upholstery, and black. This is carried throughout the entire

  build.A great looking and riding set 255/85R16 Falken Wildpeak MT

  tires keep the wheels spinning and traction to the pavement.

  Speaking of wheels, the hard to source Method MR701 Matte Black

  wheels look great wrap when paired with the Falken tires. The tire

  size matches perfectly to the size of lift. We used Bearmach Blue

  +5 CM springs which are known for their excellent all around ride

  quality. A full-size matching spare is mounted on the aftermarket

  Mantec tire carrier just above the NAS style rear bumper. We wired

  a trailer light connection to the rear so you can tow your boat or

  Fiat Jolly (look at the pictures!). The factory V8 engine runs

  extremely well with a deep subtle growl of a V8. The 5-Speed manual

  transmission shifts correctly through the gears smooth and

  precisely.A few tasteful upgrades have been added to this Defender

  but overall stays very original to its heritage. We did not want to

  stray to far from the classic half door look and kept the iconic

  Defender open dash unobstructed. Upgrades include LED lighting,

  Exmoor trim upholstery, Exmoor Trim canvas top, rear cargo mat,

  premium locking center console, Momo steering wheel, color matched

  mirrors, color matched headlamp finishers, and HD steering rods.

  The factory options are pretty typical for a Defender of the era

  including a heater, rear fog lamp, windshield wipers, blinkers,

  power steering, and power disc brakes.
