Vehicle Description
Neither the term "special edition" nor "SUV" seem adequate here.
This 1991 Land Rover Defender 110 is a jaw dropping display of
skillful customization. It was built to wow both onlookers and
fellow exhibitors at SEMA shows - not the easiest crowd to impress,
so the bar for curb appeal was set very high. From front to back
and inside and out, it sports an array of upgrades that not only
demand your attention, but also make for an outstanding driving
experience. Looking for the ultimate off road machine? Here it
is.
The matte black paint that's now draped over the exterior is just
one of many signs that this is no ordinary Land Rover. It's
outfitted like no other of its kind, featuring an array of unique
features to denote its special status. Up front, a pair of extra
powerful LED headlights are recessed into a custom Santorini grille
below the Puma hood and the Warn Zeon winch mounted on the bumper
serves notice that this one of a kind ride is about more than just
visual impact. The steel storage rack above the cabin spans the
entire roof and the quad front spotlights stand ready to light the
way on even the darkest of trails. Metal armor plates mounted at
strategic points on the exterior offer protection from any damaging
hazards that might be encountered, and the checkered accents over
the side sills and wing plates really pop against their black
background. You won't soon find another vehicle that's as rugged
yet stylish as this one anytime soon.
Judging from the uncreased, smooth surfaces of the two-tone gray
seating, they haven't seen much use. In back of the two rows of
bucket seats is a pair of additional benches facing each other,
mirroring the accommodations of its classic predecessors. There are
outstanding features wherever you look - the customized and
reimagined dash area carries a bevy of fresh gauges that sit behind
the properly British right-hand steering wheel, with the center
section featuring a sizable Alpine media display to keep a read on
both the modern AM/FM stereo with iPod connectivity and the
sightings of the backup camera. The air conditioning blows strong
and cold through the set of 4 in dash vents and a thorough amount
of sound deadening and heat insulation material sits underneath the
carpeting for a surprisingly comfortable and quiet ride.
A swapped in 300 TDI engine with an estimated 72,500 miles takes
center stage in the engine compartment having replaced the original
200 TDI. Armed with a cold air intake for some extra power, it
starts right up and has a very healthy idle. It pairs with a
5-speed manual transmission that's optimally geared for the
powerplant's output, with the lever to engage the surefootedness of
four wheel drive within very easy reach of the driver. The overall
driving experience this Land Rover offers is very impressive - it's
running great and drives with a smoothness you likely wouldn't
expect from a ride featuring its 16" Beadlock-style wheels and
their sizable 37" Maxxis Trepador tires. Power brakes that feature
discs in front will bring it to a stop in short order and its power
steering is light but responsive for easy navigating. Not
surprising, considering the attentive care it's received, the
undercarriage on this outstanding off-roader appears solid and
straight.
