Technical Information
Seller's Introduction
This Defender 110 is a full restoration by the Spain-based outfit, Defender & Friends, and was brought back to the U.S. as the D&F Edition No. #001. Holding onto its original 2.5L turbo diesel, this upgraded beauty continues to retain much of its originality, feel, and soul.
Overview
Defender is often the first word in Land Rover's continued cult appeal. The Rover Company's storied aluminum-bodied 4x4—built from the late 40s on, underwent many iterations. Three "Series" Land Rovers cemented the classic 4x4's shape in popular culture, and by the 1980s incorporated four-wheel coil spring suspension as the "90" and "110". The Defender, produced from 1990 to 2016 rung in the new millennium dutifully equipped for the road ahead.

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. When paired with a 107 horsepower turbodiesel engine and five-speed manual transmission, fuel economy and robust reliability proved invaluable no matter the task at hand. Copied, restored, and reimagined, the long wheelbase Defender remains a benchmark in four wheel drive.
