Many nations’ armed forces have employed the ubiquitous Land Rover for decades since the production of the first ever Land Rover branded vehicle in 1948. In 1983 Land Rover introduced the Land Rover 110/ One Ten and the short base Land Rover 90/ Ninety in 1984, which subsequently Land Rover changed to the Defender 110 and Defender 90, respectively. What made the Defender appealing was its ruggedness and versatility, hence its appeal to date. A truly iconic 1991 Land Rover Defender 110 LHD is up for grabs, which has seen a ground-up restoration excluding the engine and the transmission and comes with 100,000 miles on the odo.
This particular 1991 Land Rover Defender 110 LHD has been subject to a thorough restoration. The seller reports that the Pembroke Gray color was painted in 2021, and the finish shows. The roof is painted white, giving it a soothing two-tone exterior palette. The front and rear fenders are painted in black. A black grille is painted in black with the “DEFENDER” badge on top. The rear is host to a full-size spare wheel. The manual side mirrors are painted in black, as with the mesh hood and fender vents. Black-painted steelies grace the Defender. An excellent job was done to the recovered interior. In front of the dashboard, which incidentally has the speedometer in km/h plus a tachometer, and the no-nonsense classic 4-spoke land Rover steering wheel is present. The left-hand drive is reported to be a factory job. A full service has been recently finished on the Defender. The seats are done in black and feature horizontal stitching. The throttle cable has been replaced, and the brakes serviced recently.
The beating heart of this 1991 Land Rover Defender 110 LHD is the 2.5L 200tdi turbodiesel inline-4 motor. Sending power to all four wheels is the 5-speed manual transmission. Power output is estimated at 107hp and 195 lb. ft of torque. Upgrades include a new suspension from the Land Rover specialized shop Britpart and a new exhaust from the same. While its top speed of 71 mph leaves much to be desired, the Defender 110 is an excellent off-roader that can tackle almost any trail with the right equipment.
Land Rover introduced the Series I off-roader was introduced in 1948, as Rover knew that, like Jeep over in the USA, with World War II finished, they needed to switch priorities and serve the civilian market. The Land Rover Series I holds the designation of being the world’s first mass-produced four-wheel drive vehicle with doors and solid roof. Over time, the Series I became the Series II then Series III, before gaining the Defender name in late 1990, in keeping with Land Rover’s new naming convention. The Defender came in 90,110 and 130 forms, which roughly referred to its wheelbase. Here, we have a 1997 Land Rover Defender 110 County Edition which is a five-door station wagon variant. You can see by its right-hand drive layout that it’s likely a UK import. With only over 16,000 miles to its name, the vehicle currently resides in Houston, Texas, but is basically at home anywhere in the country – especially where there are no tarmac roads. After all, it’s meant to go off-roading and overlanding!
There are many motor vehicles that have been described as legendary. So many, in fact, that the word has lost much of its meaning. While there have been many interesting machines introduced in the last 100 years, only a relative handful truly deserve this accolade. One of the few that does is the English Land Rover. This amazing 4x4 wagon, the first of its kind, is instantly recognized wherever it appears. In fact, it is the first motor vehicle ever seen by a quarter of the world's population. While its look has hardly changed since 1948, the vehicle that the world knows as a Land Rover has come a long way. The Land Rover Defender has a production window of over 60 years, starting with the original series 1. This example of the 1986 Land Rover Defender 110 has covered 14,707 miles and is currently located in Westport, Connecticut.
The Land Rover Defender is probably one of a handful of proper four-by-fours. Forget low profile tires, myriad digital screens and electronics that will throw a fit if a little bit of mud gets splashed on them; the Defender can keep moving even if its caked in mud and tossed around in dirt. Building on the fantastic Series 1 of 1948, the Defender name came about in late 1990, and since then, has been revered by those who want no-nonsense off-road abilities. Of course, vehicles like this 1989 Land Rover Defender 110 from Waxhaw, North Carolina do have some nice features such as Exmoor high-back diamond-stitched leather seats and an aftermarket V8, but this one also enjoys a 4-inch lift kit and Fox Racing shocks, on top of many other things.
