Performance Upgraded 300Tdi

Professionally Modified for Great On and Off-road Driving

Car Cave-Owned for almost 5 Years with over $45K of New Parts

Shown here is a 1995 Land Rover Defender 90 pushing 200 HP with a Stage 2 Turbo running 18 PSI of boost (almost double the factory HP). The Defender was factory-built with the 300TDI engine and sourced from Villentrois, France. We purchased this Defender in 2020 from M. Trefous, a farm owner who used this Defender… for farm activities. After importing it to the United States, we began a thorough upgrade process that led to its current form, now affectionately nicknamed the “Red Hawg.” The Red Hawg has always been turn key after we went through an extensive amount of maintenance. It drives great down the road and can perform off-road. If you were to build this same Defender, the parts and labor alone would be over $80,000—not including the initial purchase of the vehicle.

Over the course of our nearly 5 years of ownership, the Defender has sadly only been driven less than 500 miles, including one proper Land Rover off-road event to Uwharrie National Forest—proving its mettle without wearing it out. We have driven it over the road to Charleston, SC and it has more than enough power to exceed any interstate speed limit. The Red Hawg stands today as a well-balanced and mechanically sorted truck, built to perform on the trail or cruise confidently on the pavement.

Under the hood is the iconic 300TDI turbo diesel engine, the sought-after 16L variant without EGR for improved reliability and response. Mated to an R380 5-speed manual gearbox and the bulletproof LT230 transfer case with locking center differential, this Defender is engineered for true go-anywhere capability.

The red exterior gives this Defender its name and sets the tone for its rugged presence. Inside, it retains a functional, purpose-built interior with weather-resistant vinyl seating, upgraded shifters, and clean, simple trim that’s ready for adventure.

This Defender has undergone an extensive mechanical overhaul with an emphasis on longevity, ride quality, and performance. Parts were sourced primarily from Turner Engineering, Allisport, Rovers North, ARB, Old Man Emu, KC Daylighter, Warn Winch, and other brands trusted by professionals around the world.
