Description for Land Rover Defender 1985

1985 Land Rover Defender 110: In the early 1980s. Land Rover embarked on a £200 million investment program that quickly produced the Stage 1 Land Rover and the 4-door Range Rover. The program finished with  replacements for the Series 3 in the form of the 110" Land Rover in 1983. and the 90" Land Rover in 1984. The Series 3 remained in production until 1985. Externally. the 110 ("one-ten") resembled the Series 3. The general shape was  retained. but there were a number of minor changes. The grille was moved forward. allowing sufficient space in the engine compartment for the Rover V8 as well as other engines. The windscreen was replaced with a taller one-piece  windscreen. and polyurethane wheel arches were fitted. Inside. the furnishings were improved. and the slide windows were replaced with wind-up ones. The rear load space was increased by restricting the boxed-in sections to the wheel  arches only. Leaf springs were finally replaced by coil spring suspension. and power-assisted steering was added as an option. The Series 3 4-cylinder engine options were increased to 2. 5l. and the Rover V8 was added as a standard  option. The four cylinder diesel was replaced with a turbo diesel engine option in 1986. The Land Rover Defender 110s have to be some of the coolest and most unique mid-80's SUVs you can find! This recent arrival needed only a quick bath and was ready for a photo shoot. Everything on this classic works like it should and  a lot of "love" (in the form of $$$) was poured into this Defender to get it to this excellent running state. During the last 2 months. all of wiring was replaced with brand new. color-coded GM wiring. The tires and paint are both  less than 4 months old and give this Rover a look that really separates it from others on the market. This Defender 110 needs nothing and we wouldn't hesitate to jump in it and drive it anywhere. It starts easily. shifts smoothly. stops like it should. and does great at highway speeds. Being 30 years old also categorizes this Defender as a "classic" in almost all states which translates to large discounts on registration. inspections. and most importantly. insurance. Features and  options include; 2. 5L Diesel Powerplant. 5 Speed Manual Transmission. 4x4. Power Brakes. Heater/Defroster. Full Roll Cage. Nerf Bars. (2)Cargo Boxes. Tow Package.
