The Appeal
Land Rovers have long served in the British Armed Forces ever since the Army ordered their first batch of Series Is in 1949. Following their time in service, many Land Rovers then go on to civilian lives and here we have a long wheelbase example that left the armed forces in 2003.
Presented in very good overall condition, having been extensively restored and partially modernised, this 1991 Defender 110 would make a great overland camper, modern classic daily driver or even workhorse. If classic Defender driving appeals to you but you appreciate a few modern conveniences, this 110 would be a great choice.

Auto-bidding increments

- We will keep you in the lead up until your maximum bid OR the increment closest to your maximum bid, providing your maximum bid is enough to cover the increment value.

|---|---|
| £0 to £10,000 | £100.00 |
| £10,000 to £50,000 | £250.00 |

Automatically outbid immediately
When you place a max bid and are outbid immediately that means that another bidder has placed a max bid limit which is higher than yours.
You can bid again and we will use our automatic bid system to try and get you as the highest bidder.
Matching max bids
When there are two max bids of the same value, the one placed first remains the lead bidder.
What are pre-bids?
A pre-bid means you’re able to place a bid before the official start of the auction.
You will be notified whether or not you are the highest bidder when the auction starts.
Problem with your bid
Bids are contractually binding. To help protect you, we have some rules in place if we think it's been mistyped. Please check and amend what you have entered.
