Built for endless summers and driving on the beach, this surf-ready Defender 90 by Legacy Overland is the perfect machine for the Hamptons or South Padre Island. Completely rebuilt, with galvanized chassis, powder-coated undercarriage, rebuilt engine, transmission, and transfer case, this soft top Defender is ready to tackle sand, salt, and waves. The way life is meant to be lived.


The Keswick Green painted Defender 90 is protected by a Safety Devices roll cage and nudge bar in front. Passengers are protected from the elements by a European-style canvas soft top. If you linger at the beach and the sun starts to set, the extra-large auxiliary lights up front, round indicator LED lights front and rear, will help illuminate the path ahead.

On the inside, the car has been upholstered in handcrafted tan leatherette throughout, including dashboard, doors and lockable cubby box. Floors are protected by Land Rover rubber mats – you do want to be able to easily wash out the sand and salt after a day on the beach, right?
