Only a very few Defenders made it to the states during the model’s original production run. That’s a shame, because the Defender is a hidden gem in the US, but a cherished off-road legend by much of the world. Thankfully, solid examples are now entering the US, such as this 1997 Land Rover Defender 110. This Defender features the sought-after 300 TDi turbo-diesel engine and a proper 5-speed R380 manual gearbox. Finished in black over a grey interior, this example maintains a clean, purposeful aesthetic while offering true go-anywhere functionality.
Exterior and Interior
The exterior is finished in black, lending the Defender 110 a stealthy, purposeful presence that pairs well with its military-bred design. The body retains its iconic shape, complete with flat panels, flared arches, and exposed hardware that hint at its utilitarian roots. The long-wheelbase 110 configuration offers added cabin space and road presence, making it a popular choice for both overlanding and restoration projects. Inside, the cabin is trimmed in grey with classic utilitarian materials designed for function over frills.
Engine
Under the hood lies the 2.5L I4 300 TDi turbo-diesel, a globally respected powerplant. It’s paired with a 5-speed R380 manual transmission, allowing the Defender to deliver a connected driving experience that suits its off-road DNA. The 4x4 system ensures surefooted traction in all conditions, and the current owner reports new shocks have been fitted, enhancing ride quality and control.
Inspection
The 1999 Land Rover Defender 110 300Tdi Station Wagon is the sort of vehicle that built Land Rover’s reputation for durability, utility, and go-anywhere capability. Showing 102,866 miles, this example is finished in Forest Green with a tan and black interior and combines the practical five-door 110 body with the highly regarded 300Tdi diesel drivetrain. Its expedition-oriented equipment, including a full-length roof rack, rear access ladder, tubular side steps, black steel wheels, and TerraMax all-terrain tires, gives it a purposeful look that suits the Defender’s character. Inside, two-tone seating and a wood-rimmed steering wheel add a more distinctive touch to this traditionally utilitarian platform.
