The Land Rover 110 debuted in 1983, replacing the long-running Series III and introducing coil-spring suspension for a more civilized ride. It wasn't officially named 'Defender' until 1990, when Land Rover needed to distinguish it from its new Discovery model. For decades, the 110 served as a trusted workhorse for farmers, adventurers, and militaries around the globe, cementing its reputation for toughness and utility.
Collectors are drawn to the Defender 110 for its iconic shape, mechanical simplicity, and incredible off-road capability. In the United States, demand is especially high for legally imported examples that are over 25 years old. Limited-run models like the North American Specification (NAS) Defenders from the 1990s are particularly valuable due to their rarity and factory V8 power.
Buying Tips
- Check for rust and corrosion everywhere. The steel chassis can rust, and galvanic corrosion is common where the aluminum body meets steel, especially on the bulkhead, door bottoms, and rear crossmember.
- Verify the paperwork on imported models. Ensure the vehicle has been legally imported and titled in the US to avoid issues with registration. Be wary of VIN discrepancies.
- The 300Tdi diesel engine is a favorite for its reliability and ease of maintenance. The later Td5 has more complex electronics, while V8s are desirable but use much more fuel.
- Expect oil leaks, but be cautious of excessive ones. Drivetrain noise from the differentials or transfer case can signal expensive problems.
- Scrutinize any modifications. Many Defenders are heavily modified, but the quality of work varies. Look for reputable parts and professional installation.
