CARFAX Report

-
This 1994 Land Rover Defender 130 is a fully restored, low-mileage long-bed Defender built by Sonoran Rovers from the chassis up. With just 12,435 miles since full restoration, a rebuilt powertrain, upgraded suspension, and extensive structural renewal, this 130 stands as one of the cleanest and most desirable examples in the U.S.

The truck previously carried an overland camper module. The camper and its associated electrical and control systems have now been professionally removed, allowing the vehicle to be offered in a clean, highly adaptable configuration. What remains is a beautifully restored Defender 130 with premium mechanical upgrades and its original 5.5-foot 130 tub, now freshly LINE-X coated for durability. 

This is a turnkey, highly refined platform ready for whichever setup you prefer. With the restored and LINE-X–coated factory tub, this 130 is perfect for:
  • Canopy or utility canopy setup (See photos included in the gallery with a previous setup)
  • Modular overland canopy system
  • Custom camper build
  • Fleet, ranch, farm, or expedition use
Systems That Remain Installed
While the camper, lithium battery, inverter, Redarc systems, and related wiring have been removed, key integrated expedition components remain:
  • Auxiliary 75L stainless long-range fuel tank
    • Total ~41 gallons capacity
    • ~700+ mile range
  • 75L stainless steel water tank with pump
  • ARB twin-motor compressor
All mechanical upgrades, chassis restoration work, and driveline improvements remain intact and fully functional.

Powertrain & Driveline
  • 300Tdi turbo diesel
  • R380 5-speed manual
  • Rebuilt LT230 transfer case
  • Rebuilt axles with ARB rear locker
  • Gwyn Lewis heavy-duty steering arms
  • OME heavy springs
  • BP-51 adjustable shocks
  • All-new disc brakes
Reliable, simple, and capable of global serviceability.

Chassis & Body Restoration
A rare level of work for any Defender in the U.S.:
  • Chassis chemically dipped, rebuilt, double-skinned
  • New outriggers
  • New rear crossmember
  • Correct left-hand-drive conversion
  • New rear tub, galvanized Puma doors, new bulkhead, new roof, Puma bonnet
  • New glass throughout
  • Factory 130 tub professionally Line-X coated
  • Rear spare wheel carrier
  • 1-tonne wheels with BFGoodrich KO2 285/75R16 tires
This is a structurally renewed Defender—not a patchwork rebuild.

Interior
  • Ministry of Defender air conditioning
  • Custom Puma seats for five, leather & hunter check by Kens Customs (UK)
  • Custom wood dashboard
  • New VDO gauges
  • Sony double-DIN head unit with subwoofer, CarPlay & Android Auto
A refined, comfortable cabin built for long-distance use.

Summary
Now offered at $89,000, this Defender 130 represents an exceptional opportunity:
  • Fully restored from the chassis up
  • Only 12k miles since restoration
  • Original factory tub, LINE-X coated
  • Premium mechanical and suspension upgrades
  • Retains long-range fuel tank, water system, and ARB air system
  • Ready for any canopy, camper, or utility configuration
Clean, capable, and beautifully rebuilt—this 130 is an outstanding foundation for expedition travel, utility use, or a unique custom build.
