Continuing a slow progression of increased dependability, comfort, and capability, Land Rover updated the Series III in 1983 with the One-Ten. While the Series trucks were typically marketed as work vehicles or for military usage, the new model was also geared towards private recreational usage. Therefore, much as with many other manufacturers, Land Rover began introducing minor changes year-to-year to encourage new sales. As with the Series vehicles, the new One-Ten, later renamed the Defender and joined by other wheelbase lengths, was available in several body styles and with a variety of motor and transmission options. All came four wheel drive and most were produced with a two-speed transfer case with a locking center differential. All of these changes resulted in a resurgence in sales, helping the company update the Range Rover and introduce the Discovery by the end of the eighties.
Because of its distinctive styling and effortless capability, the Defender, much like with the competing G-Class, has become something of a legend amongst automotive enthusiasts. Naturally, numerous restorers and builders have focused their efforts on upgrading and maintaining these exceptional vehicles. Based in Amsterdam, The Landrovers are one such company. They lavish over nine months of work on each vehicle, carefully going through every build to create a piece of art. With new builds costing over $200, 000 and requiring a multi-year wait, it is no wonder each and every Defender they produce receives a nickname as unique as the commissioner.
The incredible 1985 Land Rover Defender 110 Convertible featured here is finished in stunning Aleutian Silver Metallic with Black trim over a gorgeous Tan interior with a removable Black convertible top. This incredible Land Rover received an extensive restoration by The Landrovers, who affectionally bestowed the name, "Bluemoon" on the car. The Amsterdam-based company fully refinished the from, rebuilt the original 3. 5L V8, completed a bare-metal repaint, and refinished the interior over a period of approximately nine months. As such, this Defender represents a fabulous opportunity to acquire a vehicle with the capability of an original Defender with the peace of mind offered by a restored example. We proudly offer this incredible Land Rover to an adventure-minded collector, investor, or enthusiast who respects its condition and tasteful upgrades.
