World War II had ended, and British automaker Rover was gearing up to supply an eager public with a myriad of automobiles. Gathering experience from the learnings of making wartime off-roaders, they released the Land Rover Series I in 1948. This sturdy off-roader had features such as a box frame construction, aluminum body panels, and proper four-wheel drive with low range. The Series I would become the Series I, Series III, and finally become the Defender in 1983. While hundreds of improvements were made over the years, the basic shape, purpose, and capabilities remained the same. That's why if you love venturing into the wilderness, this 1997 Land Rover Defender 110 is a faithful companion who you can trust. Fresh off an engine rebuild just 4,000 miles ago, it's also got a transmission rebuild and is ready for action.
Defenders look purposeful, but when you take a specimen like this matte gray 1997 Land Rover Defender 110, the term takes on a whole new meaning.

Hence, it even has a snorkel air intake for the engine. You'll also note upgraded crystal headlamps, new LED turn signals, park lamps, and auxiliary front lighting for enhanced visibility when it's dark outside.

The powerplant motivating this 1997 Land Rover Defender 110 is the tough-as-nails 300Tdi. This comprises a 2.5-liter turbocharged 4-cylinder diesel engine. The engine is factory-rated for 111hp and 195lb-ft, but aftermarket tuning can yield notable gains in power and torque. The drive is sent to all four wheels via a 5-speed manual transmission that's received new union bearings and gears in the transmission.

It’s got a 6.6-liter Duramax diesel under the hood, a 62-gallon fuel tank, and is four-wheel drive. That makes it ideal for someone who wants a sturdy truck that can venture off-road when needed.
