The Appeal

Ex-military Land Rover Defender 110s occupy a special place in the hearts of enthusiasts, combining rugged utilitarian purpose with genuine provenance. This 1990-manufactured example served for 11 years before being registered for civilian use in August 2001, and it retains its military character with a Wolf hardtop, internal roll hoops, pioneer tools, blackout curtains, and a host of other service-specification equipment.

Under the bonnet sits a Nissan 2.7 TD diesel engine paired with a five-speed manual gearbox. The vendor reports it starts first time and drives very well, with a new clutch cylinder having been fitted during their ownership. With military service records, handbooks, and associated documentation reportedly present, this Defender 110 offers a compelling package for those drawn to the no-nonsense appeal of a military-specification Land Rover.
