Few vehicles have such a cult following as the Land Rover Defender, but then not many vehicles can claim quite such an iconic status.
Directly descended from the original 1948 utility Land Rover, the Defender was the last of the 4x4 manufacturer’s truly classic models and has been growing ever more popular since production ceased in 2016.
This one is a 1994 110 Utility, but unlike many of its ilk, it hasn’t spent its entire life as a farm hack – indeed, while it was used as a business vehicle by its most recent owner, it was used for light duties only as was as much a hobby vehicle as it was a workhorse.
Sadly for sale due to bereavement, the 110 is a wonderfully straight and honest example and has the added benefit of a galvanised chassis, fitted during the previous owner’s tenure. Z6mkbAF9by1EwDk4X82NpJdzPYdSwSahanTs5vuH.jpg812.56 KB
THE HISTORY AND PAPERWORK
UK V5C
MOT December 2023
Three previous owners, but the past two were the most recent keeper and previously their limited company
Service history not present as the majority of bills were retained by the business for tax relief purposes – but the 110 is said to have been well-maintained throughout its life and regularly serviced by the owner
Starts and runs well, holds a steady temperature and engages all gears in both high and low range
Brakes, steering and suspension appear fine but the Land Rover hasn’t been used much recently so a full check-over would be recommended before it is used in anger
This is a genuine, honest and extremely original example of the Defender 110 in very good overall condition, while the galvanised chassis will add a further layer of reassurance to the next owner. Whether it’s kept original as a rare and unusual variant of 110 or is treated as a blank canvas to be converted into something beefier is entirely up to the new owner – but it’s a lovely example as it stands.
