About the Land Rover Defender 90/110 110

The Land Rover 110, manufactured globally between 1983 and 1990, served as the longer-wheelbase pioneer that bridged the gap between the vintage Series III and the modern Defender era. By introducing long-travel coil springs and permanent four-wheel drive, the 110 offered a revolutionary leap in ride quality and chassis dynamics, making it far more capable for both highway touring and technical off-roading. In the 2026 Australian market, the 110 holds immense desirability as a rugged "analogue" icon, specifically for the Australian-assembled units produced at the Moorebank plant which often featured the indestructible Isuzu 4BD1 engine. The buyer pool in 2026 consists of overland traditionalists, ex-military vehicle collectors targeting the unique Perentie 4x4 and 6x6 variants, and heritage investors who prize the 110's distinctive "County" trim levels for their period-correct styling and simpler mechanicals. Locally, market value is exceptionally robust for original survivors and professionally restored examples, as 2026 buyers prioritise these vehicles for their unparalleled ease of maintenance and iconic "safari" silhouette, ensuring they remain a cornerstone of the Australian 4x4 enthusiast community.
