Discover the Helderburg Bleckmann D110: The Ultimate Custom Defender Experience

If you’re a true automotive enthusiast, the Helderburg Bleckmann D110 2-Door Defender is a vehicle that demands your attention. This isn’t just a classic Land Rover Defender—it’s a rare, meticulously reimagined icon, blending rugged capability, modern luxury, and timeless style. In the latest Helderburg video review, Paul takes you on an in-depth tour of Bleckmann, revealing why this bespoke Defender stands in a league of its own.

A Rarity Reborn

What makes Bleckmann so unique? For starters, the 2-door 110 body style is exceptionally rare—especially in the United States. Land Rover produced very few of these, and even fewer survive in restorable condition today. Helderburg’s Bleckmann was sourced from Avignon, France, and has undergone a complete, frame-off, nut-and-bolt restoration. Every component is new, every detail thoughtfully crafted, and every performance upgrade expertly executed.

Timeless Design Meets Modern Performance

Bleckmann’s exterior is finished in a custom slate grey, inspired by Steve McQueen’s legendary Porsche 911. This isn’t a mere imitation—the paintwork is a three-stage, concours-level process, resulting in a finish that shifts from elegant grey in sunlight to deep, mysterious black at dusk. Paired with an almond tan soft top, edged in black with contrasting stitching, Bleckmann’s look is both rugged and refined—what Paul calls “the ideal gentleman’s color”.

Under the hood, you’ll find a Helderburg-exclusive Stage III High Output Turbo Diesel engine, paired with a 5-speed manual transmission and a heavy-duty transfer case. The drivetrain isn’t just about power—it’s about longevity and adventure, with the potential for half a million miles of reliable service. Custom suspension, wheels, and a bold stance ensure Bleckmann handles as well on the trail as it does on city streets, delivering a ride quality that rivals luxury SUVs while maintaining 27–30 mpg.

Interior Luxury Without Compromise

Step inside, and you’ll discover perhaps the most luxurious soft-top Defender interior Helderburg has ever created. The seats are hand-stitched from custom-tanned Connolly leather—thicker and more durable than standard, designed to withstand the rigors of family life and even large dogs. The German wool carpeting, edged with leather, and the abundance of custom storage pockets elevate the experience to true bespoke luxury.

Every surface, from the dash to the sun visors, is wrapped in leather. The heated seats, high-fidelity Focal audio system, and clever ergonomic touches make long journeys a pleasure. Practicality is never sacrificed: there’s seating for up to ten, ample cargo space, and the versatile soft top can be removed in minutes, transforming Bleckmann from a cozy winter cruiser to an open-air summer adventure machine.

Built for Adventure—And for Life

Bleckmann isn’t just a showpiece; it’s a Defender built to be driven, shared, and enjoyed for generations. Whether you’re a family with kids and dogs, a couple seeking adventure, or anyone who appreciates craftsmanship and individuality, Bleckmann offers a driving experience like no other.
