Vehicle Description
This 1991 Land Rover Defender 110 is the kind of awesome
go-anywhere 4x4 that also allows you to take everyone and
everything with you, too. And while the desirable turbodiesel setup
means the power and the robustness to get you as deep into nature
as you want, this one is also a bold right-hand drive SUV that
looks distinctive even rolling through downtown.
The Defender series was ideal for plenty of old-school strength
mixed with a touch of more modern flair, and this one seems to
really pull this feeling off the best. After all, the design has
the instant look of lineage to all those other globetrotting Land
Rovers. There are just little hints of evolution that this is a
later one with the proper door handles and alloy wheels that look
borrowed from a Range Rover. Plus, this is built for added
ruggedness with a steel plated hood and fenders tops. Upgraded LEDs
for headlights make sure you can turn night into day, and the
trailer hitch means you can bring it all with you, too. All of this
looks great against the bold updated black and gray two-tone that
looks equal parts rugged and a shining sophisticate.
This is a British machine, and so it's extra-special to have it in
right hand drive. It's also easy to show off this unique interior
thanks to new seat covers up front and a general well-presented
look to the rest of the fundamentals. The driving position is
comfortable with a high-back bucket seat, a smooth/clean dash, and
a grippy classic Land Rover steering wheel. There are some nice
everyday features, like an AM/FM stereo with USB input, cup holder
center console, and a sunroof. Plus, this has the handy setup of
the four-person jump seats in the rear. So you've got room for
plenty of cargo or have the option of carrying up to eight people
besides yourself.
Another great reason to have a Land Rover built for a foreign
country is under the hood. We were never offered diesel power with
the Defenders that were sold in the USA, and we all know diesel
provides the best torque to get you through Mother Nature. So it's
great to see a 2.0-liter turbodiesel under the hood. This
powerplant has earned a tough-as-nails reputation from the Scottish
Highlands to Gibraltar, and so while the odometer reflects actual
mileage, we also know that just break-in for a robust diesel. Plus,
because this has been a long-standing British motor, the parts are
also widely available. The five-speed manual transmission is the
ideal pairing to give you full control over the diesel power. The
high ground clearance and two-speed 4x4 transfer case assures that
you can keep going even when the trail ends. But there's more to
this Defender. The newer tires and exhaust are an investment in
overall quality. And the power steering, power brakes, and front
discs remind you that go-anywhere also means being easy to drive
down Main Street.
This one feels solid on or off the road, and that makes for an
irresistible SUV where some people may mistake your milk runs for
leaving on a safari. How cool is that? Call today!!!
