About the 1983 Land Rover Defender 110

The original Defender 110 represents the last of the truly utilitarian Land Rovers, built for work rather than lifestyle. Its ladder-frame construction, solid axles, and agricultural 2.2-liter turbodiesel prioritized capability over comfort. The 122-horsepower engine's massive 265 lb-ft of torque made it unstoppable off-road, while the manual transmission and mechanical simplicity meant it could be fixed anywhere. After 33 years of continuous production ending in 2016, the 110 has become a cult classic among collectors who appreciate its honest, no-nonsense character. Values have climbed steadily as enthusiasts recognize these as the last 'real' Defenders before luxury took over. Late examples with the Puma engine are particularly sought-after, representing the final evolution of this iconic design. It's automotive archaeology in the best possible way.
