The first generation Land Rover was first developed in 1983 and was produced until 2016. Initially, it was known as the Land Rover One Ten and Ninety but was revised to Land Rover Defender 110 and 90. The 110 and 90 denoted the wheelbase length respectively. Step into this iconic British-built 1987 Land Rover Defender that is in excellent condition and bears 167,000 miles on the odometer.
