Land Rover continued the Series I, II, and III range with the 90 and 110 models in the '80s and then introduced the Defender nameplate in late 1990. After decades of producing the Land Rover Series models, the British carmaker finally decided on giving a proper name to the iconic off-road vehicle: Defender. It replaced the former 90 and 110 nameplates and became Defender 90 and Defender 110, respectively. Later on, Land Rover longer version named Defender 130.
Unlike the shorter Defender 90, the 110 version featured a 110" wheelbase and four doors. At the back, a side-hinged door allowed access to the boot or to the additional side-mounted seats.

Under the bonnet, Land Rover installed either a 3.5-litre V-8 petrol engine or a 2.5-litre turbo-diesel. Later on, it dropped the V-8 unit and improved the turbo-diesel powerplant. When Ford bought Rover, it replaced the older 2.5-litre inline-five with a 2.2-liter inline-four used on the Transit utility vehicle. The Defender featured live axles, both front and rear, and coil springs. A low-range transfer case allowed an all-wheel-drive system with a locking center differential.
According to the V5C UKJ has had three owners, the first is believed to have been a police diver's vehicle, followed by a farmer. A mechanic then bought it and replaced the chassis in 2017 with a galvanised one and in 2020 completed the refurbishment including a respray and a lighting upgrade. Our vendor bought it and fitted a roof lighting board, recently serviced it when the fuel pump was replaced, it has also had a Storm stage 2 remap. The MOT history from 2015 at 81,135 miles until the last one in December 2021 at 114,727 confirms gentle use over the last 20 years.

Sold with the V5C and MOT history this 110 also comes with unfitted bench seats to the rear.
