the plains of Africa to the jungles of South America can now be yours.
ECR now offers late model (1993-1997) Defender 110's and 130's for all your Rover needs. These are very versatile vehicles. They can be anything from a 2 door sporting vehicle; to an air conditioned Station Wagon that is at home taking you to the beach or a board meeting.
We can build you any Defender you desire, no matter what your needs are.
Defender 110's: Some examples of past projects and possibilities
ECR Defender 110 Summer Runner (SR110):
- 2 door soft top/ hard top SR110: This is the basic 2 door Defender 110 with a soft top roof and open back that can be left open to haul gear, or set up with seating for up to 10 people. Great for sporting needs, going to the beach or carrying a lot of gear. The ECR SR110 is the ultimate tour vehicle with its adventure ability and massive seating capability. It can be a "no top", "soft top with roll up sides" or a "full hard top" depending on what option you choose.
ECR Defender 110 Beach Runner (BR110):
- 4 door soft top BR110: This is the ultimate 4 door Defender 110 with a soft top, half doors, seating for 9 and room for beach gear. A Defender 110 that has many different forms, from no top, to a soft top to a bikini top for the ultimate beach cruiser.
How about a BR110 that is set up for fun on and off the road!
Here is another dual sport BR110 in Eastnor Green.
Here is Beach Runner #5 in Willow Green with a full rust resistant package
How about a completely custom Beach Runner 130 (extended wheelbase)!
- 110 Pick up: This is the basic 2 door Defender 110 with a pick up roof and open back. Great for sporting needs, or working hard. A canvas top is also available to cover the cargo area.
ECR Defender 110 HC Pick Up:
- 110 Hi-Capacity Pick up: This version has a longer, wider rear cargo area.
Both vehicles shown below are 3.9 EFI V8's, with 5 speed gearboxes, AC, power steering and much much more. They are also available in 300Tdi 5 speed and 4.6 EFI V8 automatic and 5 speed versions.

All the ECR Defender110s and 130s come finished to our high quality standards, with full interiors, and more attention to detail than the factory ever imagined.
Shown below is a the interior headliner trim on an ECR Hi-Capacity pick up.
Both the standard pick up and the hi-capacity have removable roofs for open top driving.
- Defender 130 Hi-Capacity Crew Cab Pick up: A large, 127" wheelbase, version of the 110 Hi-Capacity. It has 4 doors and room for 5, with a large cargo bed as well. The ultimate shooting brake/ recreational vehicle for your country house, or work horse for your business or farm.
ECR Defender 110 NAS style 3 door:
- NAS Full hard top 110: Great for load carrying or a great platform for a camper/ expedition vehicle. It is available with a rear door, or a split lift gate tailgate, and many other options.
Shown here in AA Yellow, sliding side windows, sunroof, etc...
ECR Defender 110 Station Wagon:
- ECR 110 Station Wagon: This is the 4 door model commonly known as the "5 door" due to its rear door. This vehicle can seat 9 with ease and can carry all the gear for that crowd on its optional roof rack. With optional air and our custom built CD and iPod sound systems, this vehicle is perfect for drives to the office or showing clients that "off the beaten path" piece of real estate. After using your 110 for work, you can head to the ski slopes, or the beach, and be sure of getting to there in style and comfort with the full time 4 wheel drive and the optional 280 horsepower Pursuit V8.
The ECR 110s differ from the standard 1993 U.S. Defender 110s as many more options and colors are available. U.S. Defender 110 Station Wagons were only available in white, with a 3.9 liter V8, 5 speed.
Working with ECR you could have bright yellow Defender 110 Station Wagon with front and rear AC, a 4.6 Rover V8 and an automatic! Your choices and options are almost endless.
We can even offer all the latest updates, like a better interior with a dash mounted radio, and even power windows and locks. Above you can see the updated dash in our latest restoration of NAS Defender 110 #132/500.
Dash updates also include new version gauges (tachometer, coolant temp. fuel level and speedo) and the latest "blacked out" warning lamps (you only see the warning lights when they are illuminated).
The much more efficient air conditioning systems are used (rear air cond. also available) and the dash mounted radio...
gives us new DVD and touch screen audio/video system possibilities that we could not offer before. Here you can see an Alpine touch screen DVD system installed in an ECR 110.
A very nice by product of changing the dash system to the "in dash radio" is that we can also install the latest style cubby boxes that actually hold a coffee mug or a large drink. Its a small thing, but it helps a lot.
We also offer all the latest body upgrades, from door hinges that don't cause rust bleeds to new rear doors that are better in every way.

ECR Defender 110 FAQ: (Frequently Asked Questions)
- We can not help you import a 110/130 from overseas. We build our 110s in the USA as importation and road use of these overseas vehicles is illegal if they are not 25 years old or older.
- ECR 110s and 130s are built at the ECR facility in Rockland, Maine.
- We build 110 pick ups, 3 doors, and 130 crew cabs because they do not exist in the USA otherwise. If you are seeking an NAS Defender 110 Station Wagon, an ECR 110 Station Wagon is not a cheaper alternative. Ours cost much more as they are hand built and updated with lots of better equipment. We only offer the 5 door Station Wagons for those very special customers who either want a 300 Tdi version, or something along the lines of an AA Yellow 4.6 liter, automatic D110 5 door, or those who just need a newer model with a galvanized frame and rust protection throughout. If you are seeking a 3.9 EFI 5 speed 110 5 door, we suggest you locate a good used NAS 110.
- ECR 110/130s start out as clean, low mileage, NAS Defender 90s and NAS 110s. We then start with a new frame and combine it with the Defender and build the perfect vehicle to your exact specifications.
- The majority of ECR Defenders are custom built to customers order. We already have a back log of orders, so we do not have a number of vehicles on hand that are ready for delivery, unfortunately.
