1983 Land Rover - Defender

Product Details

THIS. . . is a 1983 Land Rover 110, finished in white with a gray interior. Reportedly imported from England in January 2021, it's equipped with a metric instrument cluster and its odometer displays about 215,500 kilometers, which represents approximately 133,900 miles. Modifications reported by the seller include a Weber carburetor, a snorkel-type air intake system, a bigger exhaust system, 16-inch wheels, "DEFENDER" lettering on the hood, diamond plating on the hood, fenders, and rocker panels, a roof rack with a ladder, Exmoor Trim rear jump seats with seatbelts, Mitchell fans in the rear compartment, a Grundig CD player, and aftermarket speakers. Service records shown in the gallery detail some of the repairs and maintenance performed on this 110. The clutch was replaced in March 2022 and a new headgasket was installed in July 2021. Land Rover introduced the four-door 110 and the two-door 90 in 1983 and 1984, respectively, to replace the long-running Series III. While both models looked a lot like their predecessors, they offered users a more up-to-date interior, a permanent four-wheel drive system, and a coil spring suspension system. The 110 and the 90 morphed into the original Defender in 1990, though the numerical designations remained to differentiate two- and four-door models, and production carried on with minor updates until 2016. Power comes from a 2. 3-liter 4-cylinder engine, rated at about 74 horsepower and 120 lb-ft of torque. The modifications might increase those figures but a dyno sheet is not available. Called "11H" internally, the engine spins the four wheels via a 5-speed manual transmission and a 2-speed transfer case.
