Project Bertha

1996 Land Rover Defender 90 - 300Tdi - Soft-Top

Heritage Build Defender

Project Bertha was a custom-built Land Rover Defender 90 Soft-Top Conversion completed by our Minnesota team. We had built something previously and had so many people ask us about it that we decided to do another one, but add a few more details and make her an original.
