Land Rover released the 110 in 1983 as an updated version of the original Land Rover from 1948. Changes between the two included the introduction of coil springs, a permanent four-wheel-drive system, a taller windscreen, and a more powerful selection of engines. Cosmetic updates to the 110 were minor, but included a full-length bonnet and wheel arch extensions. 110 indicated its wheelbase of 110 inches; the shorter 90 and longer 127 soon followed.

This matte army green 110 was commissioned by the Royal Thai Armed Forces and was put to use as a radio truck. Incredibly, the 11,300 miles showing on the odometer are believed to be original although there is no way to confirm this due to its previous ownership. Its 2.5-liter four-cylinder diesel engine is mated to a five- speed manual transmission with a hi-lo transfer case. Over $23,000 has recently been spent on the truck, including the additions of a newer power steering pump, power steering box, tan canvas top with windows, a fuel pump, and a re-build of the transmission. This is a well-sorted and unique Defender that would stand out in any collection.

Please note that this Defender 110 is legally registered in California and is up to California smog specifications.
