The 1993 Land Rover Defender 110 offered for sale here is #165 of
just 500 original Defender 110s imported into the US in 1993.
Originally delivered to Newport Beach, CA, this vehicle has spent
the majority of its life in its current ownership in San Diego, and
has recently undergone quite a few significant upgrades and
additions.
This Defender now bears a custom suspension with Bilstein 5100
reservoir shocks and an ARB locking rear differential on the
Salisbury rear axle to provide additional traction. The entire
vehicle rests on brand new BF Goodrich Mud-Terrain 255/85 R16 tires
and NATO steel Wolf wheels for an aggressive look and reliable
performance. It has been given a 10K Husky winch on the Mantec
front bumper/brush bar, and comes with a rope and two different
chains for towing, and features a raised Mantec air intake to
minimize dust and water egress.
This Defender has also been upgraded to feature a dual marine
Optima Battery system with a marine isolation switch, a high
capacity alternator, and a Banks ignition system. This system,
controlled by a custom switch panel on the interior center console,
also accesses additional lighting features, including under-frame
lighting, as well as the Extreme on-board air compressor for
reinflation. On the back of the vehicle, a Mantec spare tire
carrier has been installed to help keep weight off the door and
carry a larger spare tire. The rear is also lined with an LED panel
of lights that is wired to the reverse switch for additional backup
help. This LED panel can also be independently turned on and used
externally.
On the interior, this vehicle has been given new Exmoor high-back
front seats and custom rear bucket seats in the middle row. Resting
between the middle seats is a 35 quart Engel refrigerator/freezer.
The car is wired with a Pioneer sound system and retrofitted with a
Pioneer CD player/radio, as well as a satellite radio, all
protected by a dust-proof marine cover. It also bears an Icom 208
2M/440Mhz radio, CB, and a Garmin 276c GPS with a rooftop
antenna.
Additional upgrades include a full compliment of Hella off-road
lights, RAM mounts between the front seats to hold phones and
tablets, and a brand new insulated headliner to help keep the cab
cool.
This particular Defender 110 comes extremely well-documented.
Included in the sale are three the original Land Rover tool kit,
service manuals, parts catalogues, and sales brochures, as well as
a bin of spare parts. Additionally there are two full binders of
information, one containing period advertisements of the Defenders
and the first owner's service records, and one containing extensive
receipts and records for the current owner's upgrades to the
car.
Though there were many Defenders built in the UK, and even more
imported to the US more recently for rebuilding, this original
US-Spec Defender 110 is an absolute rarity on the market today, and
an invaluable collectible to the right buyer. With only 500
originally imported, and even fewer still around today in their
original states, this Defender is a must-have for any serious
collectors.
