The iconic Land Rover Defender was initially introduced in 1983, is a staple in many commonwealth country’s militaries, police, special forces, and VIP motorcades, to name but a few. The Defender nametag replaced the revered post-World War II-produced Land Rover Series. While common in many parts of the world, it’s somewhat of a rarity in the US. The original Defender ended production in 2016, after an illustrious production run of 33 years. Our subject specimen is a 1986 Land Rover Defender 110, with a complete restoration and has been upgraded in many ways, making it a must-have vehicle in anyone’s arsenal.
Recolored in a Satin Grey exterior color, the interior features two-toned, custom-made, and diamond-stitched leather seats to complement the exterior. This off-roader rides on a set of striking NICHE Staccato wheels wrapped in Nitto AT Terra Grappler rubber. Other exterior visual upgrades include a Kahn grill, Kahn bumper lights, Kahn fender inserts, Kahn hood inserts, plus a roof rack and ladder to keep all your camping gear in place and easily accessible. A nut and bolt restoration has been performed in April 2020. A 7-PIN trailer light kit is installed too. Also included are functioning power windows, as well as central locking. A suede headliner is in place with a diamond-stitched strip. Four custom leather-wrapped jump seats for extra passengers are installed too.
The original ’86 Land Rover Defender was available in various motor options ranging from 2.25L to 3.5L and with four different transmission types. This Defender has been fitted with a reliable American-made new GM motor with a new transmission and a unique electric card style gear shifter. The electric wiring system has been updated, and a new Yellow Top battery is installed. The PCS Powertrain Control has been completely serviced. A custom fuel system has been installed comprising of a 21-gallon powder coated tank, fuel lines, breather filter, tank breather, and a pressure regulator. Complementing the custom build is a custom exhaust pipe.
The Land Rover Defender has always been a bit of a forbidden fruit kind of car for U.S. consumers. Despite a handful of North American-spec Defenders being offered, by and large, the classic Defender was unobtanium in the States. But that doesn’t mean you can’t sample this classic off-roading icon today. Thanks to imports opening up, you can now get your hands on European-sourced examples of the classic Defender in various flavors. Take our featured car, for example, which was imported from the Netherlands. It features a classic 3.5-liter Rover V8, an automatic transmission, and a few modern features to improve driveability.
The Land Rover Defender can trace its origins way back to the Series I of 1948. When the war was over, Rover created the Series I as a plucky and capable off-roader for the public, inspired by the Willys Jeep. The Series I became the Series II, then the Series III (and there were some derivatives of each), until it gained the name Defender in late 1990. Park a Defender next to a Series I, and you'll see just how similar the vehicles are. Despite that, Land Rover made hundreds of updates to the vehicle during its long production run. If you've always had your eye on one of these iconic and vastly capable vehicles, this 1995 Land Rover Defender 110 is up for sale with us right now. Reportedly a 1996 model year machine, it's got just 70,000 miles on the odometer and some tasteful upgrades to make it more livable as a daily runner - if you choose.
