1995 Land Rover Defender 110

Description

This 1995 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. Plus, this recently restored SUV has easy everyday features like four-wheel disc brakes and air conditioning so that it's easy to even roll through town, too.

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 new LED headlights. And what we like best is the two-tone style this got during its recent restoration. The white body is bright and glossy. It also makes a terrific backdrop for all the rugged black pieces, like the metal grille, steel-plated fenders tops, tubular side steps, fender flares, rear ladder, snorkel air intake, and beefy steel wheels with Cooper Discoverer tires. The black roof, black trim, and tinted windows are all there to just give this the look of a thoughtfully restored Defender. So its total attractiveness is truly as clear as black and white.

The restoration also means a well-done interior. It has well-presented fundamentals, including the carpeting, upholstery, and door panels. The driving position is comfortable with high-back front bucket seats, new seat foam all-around, a smooth/clean dash, and a grippy classic Land Rover steering wheel. Those who look at Defenders 110s may often see them in right-hand drive, and so a left-hand model with the speedometer in MPH will likely hold added appeal for those keeping it on American roads. In fact, this has an everyday kind of appeal with features like an AM/FM/CD stereo with Bluetooth, cup holder center console, modern insulation, and cold-blowing air conditioning. Plus, this has the handy features of four-place 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.

While this is left-hand drive, this was not originally built for the American market...and that's an advantage. 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 2.5-liter turbodiesel under the hood. This powerplant has earned a tough-as-nails reputation from the Scottish Highlands to Gibraltar, and a proper refresh during the restoration helps to uphold this tradition. The five-speed manual transmission was also rebuilt during this time to remain strong and smooth. Plus, the high ground clearance and two-speed 4x4 transfer case assure that you can keep going even when the trail ends. But there's more to this Defender. The power steering and four-wheel power disc brakes remind you that go-anywhere also means being easy to drive down Main Street.

The sale comes complete with the owner's manual and maintenance records. 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!!!
