The Appeal
The 300 TDI-powered Defender 110 Station Wagon is widely regarded as one of the most capable and reliable iterations of Land Rover's iconic workhorse. The 2,495cc direct-injection turbodiesel engine offers a fine balance of torque, economy, and mechanical simplicity, making it a perennial favourite among enthusiasts and those who demand genuine off-road ability.
This 1995 example has been the subject of a significant restoration, addressing both the structural and mechanical aspects that are so critical to the longevity of these vehicles. Galvanised chassis sections have been renewed, the engine has been professionally rebuilt, a new Ashcroft gearbox has been fitted, and the braking system, suspension, clutch, exhaust, and driveshafts have all been replaced. Inside, the original seating and cloth headlining are reported to be in good condition.
Having been garage-stored for the past seven years, this Defender comes to market with an MOT valid to November 2026 and a file of restoration receipts. The vendor welcomes any RAC or AA inspection. For those seeking a mechanically sorted and structurally renewed 300 TDI 110, this is a compelling opportunity.
