1985 | Land Rover Defender 110 4.6L Conversion

Land Rover is often the first name in the continued cult appeal of vintage 4x4s. The Rover Company's storied aluminum-bodied workhorse—built from the late 40s on, underwent many iterations. Three "Series" Land Rovers cemented the classic truck's shape in popular memory, and by the 1980s incorporated four-corner coil spring suspension as the "90" and "110".

.

Named for the length of its wheelbase, the Defender 110 proved an especially versatile companion. More storage inside combined with the sure-footedness of a lengthened chassis made the truck an instant favorite around the globe. Paired with a five-speed manual transmission, locking center differential, and fuel injection, the truck's V8 motivation arrived primed and ready for any task at hand. Copied, restored, and reimagined by many, the long-wheelbase Defender remains a benchmark in rugged utility.

This 1985 Land Rover Defender 110 retains much original character as a lightweight four-wheel-drive blending durable functionality with timeless styling. Re-finished in Stornoway Grey Metallic, over $40k in modifications including a chipped 4.6L conversion complement this truck’s Solihull heritage. Inside, air conditioning, Pioneer audio, and 9-passenger Exmoor leather seating w/mesh center sections fill out modernized comforts over any distance. VDO instrumentation shows a digital odometer reading of 33k miles. Lifted OME suspension sits over Black Project Kahn 18" wheels and 4-wheel disc brakes, plus matching spare clad in BF Goodrich T/A KO2 tires. Exterior modifications further extend to front and rear LED lighting, custom side steps, bumpers, swing-out spare tire carrier, and snorkel air intake. This Defender is sold with a clean title, Carfax report, and third-party inspection report.
