SAMUEL | LLOYD | & | CO

Classic car business with passion for Land Rovers, Defenders, Range Rovers & Fiat 500s. We travel the world, reviving these iconic cars!

It all starts with the heart — the original 3.5L Rover V8, now performance-built and breathing through an Edelbrock 500 CFM carburettor.
Instant throttle response, deep exhaust note, and the unmistakable mechanical feel that modern SUVs have long forgotten.This isn’t just a restored 110 — it’s a re-engineered one.
High-compression pistons, a performance camshaft, and uprated intake manifold transform the classic V8 into something truly alive.Paired with its short-wheelbase agility and lightweight 3-door setup, it feels raw, analog, and beautifully balanced — a proper old-school Land Rover, but sharper in every way.Finished in Bronze Green over Denim Twill, this One Ten is more than a truck — it’s a tribute to the era when driving was about connection, not convenience.📍Located in Connecticut, USA

The beauty of this first-year One Ten isn’t just in how it looks — it’s in how it was rebuilt.
This truck was taken down to the last nut and bolt, every component restored, upgraded or renewed with an OEM+ philosophy: original character preserved, real-world drivability transformed.Under the bonnet, the original matching-numbers 3.5L Rover V8 has been performance-built with high-compression pistons, a hotter cam, Edelbrock 500 CFM carb and uprated intake manifold — delivering the torque and soundtrack a classic Defender truly deserves.Inside, the cabin keeps its period-correct simplicity, now paired with fresh Denim Twill seating for 8, rugged rubber mats, and subtle refinements that make it a perfect beach runner, country lane cruiser, or weekend escape machine.A rare early 3-door 110 that bridges collectability with usability — ready to be enjoyed right away.#landrover #landrover110 #defender110 #landroverdefender #classiclandrover #v8landrover #landroverlife #landroverheritage #restoredlandrover #classic4x4 #v8defender #defenderbuild #oemplus #beachrunner #bronzegreen #defenderclassic #british4x4 #carrestoration #automotivedesign #collectorcars #classiccarbuild #vintage4x4 #landroverproject #handbuilt #restomod #classictruck #samuellloydandco #connecticutcars #britishicons #defendernation

The result? Classic Rover soul with a sharper, more spirited edge.Finished in timeless bronze green over denim twill seating for eight, it captures everything we love about early Land Rovers — mechanical honesty, utilitarian charm, and a touch of adventure.📍 Titled and located in Connecticut, USAStay tuned — we’ll be diving deeper into the details of this build soon.#landrover #landrover110 #defender110 #landroverdefender #classiclandrover #v8landrover #landroverlife #landroverheritage #restoredlandrover #classic4x4 #v8defender #defenderbuild #oemplus #beachrunner #bronzegreen #defenderclassic #british4x4 #carrestoration #automotivedesign #collectorcars #classiccarbuild #vintage4x4 #landroverproject #handbuilt #restomod #classictruck #samuellloydandco #connecticutcars #britishicons #defendernation

Every Defender has a story, but few are as rich as this one.This 1992 Land Rover Defender 110 started life in the service of the UN, playing its part during the Yugoslavian conflict. Decades later, we had the privilege of restoring it — not by erasing its history, but by respecting and enhancing it.From its Alpine White finish to the NAS-style roll cage and Sahara sand soft top, every detail was chosen to balance authenticity with usability. Underneath, a fully rebuilt chassis, refreshed engine, and upgraded mechanicals ensure it’s ready for the next chapter of adventures.This one has already found its new home, but if you’re looking for a Defender built with true character and care, we can make it happen.sales@samuellloydco.com

Not an average Defender — this 1992 110 200TDI tells a story few others can match.Originally commissioned by the UN and supplied by Conrico Overseas Ltd, this truck was delivered during the Yugoslavian conflict in the early ‘90s. After decades in service and private ownership, it came to us for a thoughtful restoration that would honor its past while elevating its future.We retained as much of its UN spec as possible, but added subtle, purposeful upgrades: a NAS-style roll cage, Sahara soft top, and safari doors. Beneath its Alpine White paint is a fully rebuilt chassis, overhauled axles, and a freshly serviced engine with all new ancillaries — ready for anything.This Defender is already sold, but if you’re after something equally special, reach out. We specialise in building Land Rovers with purpose, history, and soul.sales@samuellloydco.com

Something a little different — and certainly one with a story.This 1992 Land Rover Defender 110 200TDI has already found its new home, but it remains one of the most unique builds we’ve done. Originally delivered to the UN during the Yugoslavian conflict by Conrico Overseas Ltd, it later spent time in Belgrade before we brought it back to the UK in 2020.Our goal with the restoration was clear — respect its utilitarian roots while enhancing it for modern use. The result? A UN/Safari NAS-inspired Defender featuring a NAS-style internal/external roll cage, Sahara sand mohair soft top, and safari-style doors.Restored with care and purpose, this Defender was built to keep its history alive while offering many more years of capability and adventure.If you’re looking for a Defender like this, get in touch — we can help you find or build your perfect one.sales@samuellloydco.com

Here’s another post idea with a fresh take:A true example of understated craftsmanship — this 1995 Land Rover Defender 300 TDI captures everything we love about original patina and honest restoration. Originally delivered to the French market and showing just 98,000 miles, it came to us with incredible originality and the kind of wear that tells a story.Instead of wiping away its past, we enhanced its future. The body was removed from the frame for a full restoration, while keeping 95% of the factory paint intact. The chassis was sandblasted and powder-coated, axles fully rebuilt, and the interior re-trimmed in Denim Vinyl Twill. It’s as functional as it is beautiful — and it stays true to its roots.This is what we mean by character that lasts.Looking for something similar? We can help.
