This is a genuine factory V8 Defender, not an engine-swapped conversion, making her an interesting proposition for enthusiasts looking for an authentic V8 example. Originally delivered to the Middle Eastern market, she comes from Oman and has recently been imported into Belgium. All Belgian import duties and taxes have been paid. She is accompanied by her official Omani export certificate and a Land Rover birth certificate documenting her origins.This Defender presents herself as a very solid base for a rewarding restoration or improvement project. She starts, runs, drives and stops, but should be considered a project vehicle rather than a fully sorted, ready-to-enjoy example. There is some minor damage to the rear left side of the body tub, and various areas offer room for mechanical and cosmetic improvement.Her overall solidity, original V8 configuration and manual transmission make her an attractive starting point for someone who appreciates the character of a classic Defender and enjoys bringing a vehicle to the next level.She has been priced accordingly, leaving the next owner with room to invest in improvements while keeping the potential market value of a well-presented Defender 110 V8 in mind. Whether the intention is to preserve her authentic character, carry out a sympathetic refurbishment or create a personalised adventure vehicle, this Defender offers plenty of possibilities.An additional advantage is that she can be sold with the reduced 6% VAT rate instead of the standard Belgian 21% VAT rate, subject to the applicable tax conditions. This makes her an even more interesting proposition from a financial perspective.An increasingly interesting opportunity to acquire a genuine V8 Defender 110 with a manual gearbox, documented origins and the potential to become something truly special.Available for viewing at Car Cave in Belgium.
