The Land Rover Defender Ninety (90) and One Ten (110), produced between 1983 and 1990, represent a pivotal era in the iconic off-road vehicle's history. These models, while still bearing the rugged and utilitarian DNA of their predecessors, ushered in a new level of refinement and capability. The 90 and 110, distinguished by their wheelbase lengths, continued to offer the legendary off-road performance that Land Rover was known for, thanks to their robust ladder frame chassis, powerful diesel engines, and permanent four-wheel drive system. These models also introduced a more comfortable and spacious interior, featuring improved seating, updated instrumentation, and a wider range of available options, including a soft top, hardtop, or a combination of both. The Defender 90 and 110, despite their age, still hold a special place in the hearts of enthusiasts for their unparalleled off-road prowess, timeless design, and rugged construction.
The 1983-1990 Defender 90 and 110, often referred to as the "Classic" Defenders, were true workhorses capable of tackling the most demanding terrain. Their powerful engines, combined with a low-range transfer case, provided immense torque and crawling ability, making them ideal for challenging off-road conditions. They were also incredibly durable and reliable, built to withstand harsh environments and heavy workloads. These models were instrumental in establishing the Land Rover Defender's reputation as a no-nonsense, go-anywhere vehicle. Their simple yet effective design, coupled with the availability of a wide range of accessories and upgrades, allowed owners to personalize their Defenders for a variety of purposes, from farming and expedition to military service and leisure activities. Today, these classic Defenders are highly sought-after by collectors and enthusiasts who appreciate their timeless design, legendary off-road capabilities, and enduring legacy.
