The Land Rover Defender, a name synonymous with ruggedness and off-road prowess, emerged in 1983 as the successor to the iconic Land Rover Series III. The Defender 90 and 110, named for their respective wheelbase lengths, represented the final evolution of the original Land Rover concept. Built on a ladder frame chassis with durable steel body panels, these vehicles were renowned for their robust construction and unparalleled off-road capability. Powered by a range of gasoline and diesel engines, they were offered in a variety of configurations, from basic workhorses to more luxurious station wagons. Their versatility extended beyond the outback, with the Defender finding its way into military service, humanitarian aid missions, and even as the basis for specialized vehicles like ambulances and fire engines.

The Defender 90 and 110 were appreciated for their simplicity and ease of maintenance. They featured a mechanical design that was relatively straightforward to understand, allowing owners and mechanics alike to perform most repairs and maintenance tasks themselves. While the Defender's legacy is marked by its unwavering reliability and enduring popularity, it was also recognized for its spartan interior and sometimes rough ride. Despite these limitations, the Defender's ability to conquer any terrain and its undeniable character made it a beloved vehicle for enthusiasts around the world. The Defender's production came to an end in 2016, leaving a void in the rugged off-road vehicle market, but its enduring influence is evident in the design and capabilities of its successor, the modern Land Rover Defender.
