SOLD: Urban Motor Works Defender 110 Build

Meet Project Snowball — one of our most ambitious and refined custom builds to date at Urban Motor Works. Designed from the ground up to be the ultimate overland explorer, tailgate-ready rig, and daily city cruiser, this left-hand-drive Land Rover Defender 110 blends OEM authenticity with American muscle and modern tech. At the heart of this beast is a 6.2L LS3 V8 from a 2008 Corvette, paired to a 6L80 automatic transmission and mated with the classic LT230 Land Rover transfer case. True to its roots, it rides on factory Land Rover axles and driveshafts, built to handle both the pavement and the trail. The body has been completely restored and powder-coated, including the diamond plating, aprons, OEM Puma hood and grille surround, door handles, axles, and other accents. Inside, it features power windows, a fully integrated OEM Puma dashboard, and modified Puma gauge clusters by Himalaya, which now accurately read the LS3 powertrain while maintaining factory aesthetics. A Land Rover Discovery shifter keeps the interior cohesive, and a powerful 3000-watt inverter has been seamlessly installed, with power hookups in the rear trunk — perfect for tailgating or overland power needs. Project Snowball is more than a Defender — it’s a purpose-built machine that honors tradition while charging ahead with modern capability. Whether you’re headed into the mountains, across town, or off the grid, this custom D110 is ready.
