1991 Land Rover Defender Description

If you really need to go to the deepest, darkest parts of the world, there aren't many vehicles more capable than this 1991 Land Rover Defender 110. Taking all they'd learned about off-roading over the past seven decades and cramming it into a truck-shaped box, Land Rover built a truck they knew most Americans wouldn't understand, let alone buy. But if you're one of the lucky few, then you know that there really is no place this awesome Defender can't go.You've seen the shape on the plains of Africa, the swamps of South America, and slogging across the tundra in Antarctica; just about the only place this truck doesn't belong is on pavement. However, that's a big part of its appeal, because this is one butch truck. NOBODY kicks sand in the Defender's face, and especially not after the makeover this one received. It wears a relatively recent coat of Marine Blue paint that is a traditional Landie color, and it also gives it an industrial-strength look that's outrageously appealing. The aluminum bodywork is light but strong, and all those right angles and sharp corners were designed to make it easy to service in the field. Finish quality is about what you got from the factory, not bad but not perfect, because this was a truck they knew wouldn't be living a sheltered life. Add some fender flares, a hood-mounted spare tire, and a jerry can of fuel out back and you have a truck that's ready for just about anything. Of course, it's so clean that looking good is probably the only challenge it's ever faced, because this truck sure doesn't look like it's been brutalized on the trail.The interior is remarkably civilized, with great-looking black buckets for the front seat occupants and a set of fold-out benches in back, safari-style. The entire interior has been sprayed with spray-on bedliner material, so it's durable and maintenance-free, and the guys at Land Rover clearly know a thing or two about making things functional. There's a meaty steering wheel over there on the "wrong" side, big, bold gauges, simple controls for the HVAC, and plenty of storage cubbies for your gear. The wide center console houses the essentials for off-roading, including the shifters for the transmission and transfer case. And, of course, being destined for the wilderness, you get a CB radio and a tan convertible top that's versatile as well as handsome. Power comes from Land Rover's long-running 2.5-liter four cylinder diesel, which will run on just about any combustible liquid you can find out in the middle of nowhere. Reliable and torquey, it serves the Defender quite well and with proven durability in the most remote areas of the globe, you should have no worries about getting to your destination. It's been properly maintained and remains quite stock with recent service that includes a new radiator and fresh gaskets. It's not all shiny and clean under the hood, but as a former British military vehicle, it does show signs of having been cared for properly during its adventures. The 5-speed manual transmission and 2-speed transfer case permit decent highway cruising and low-speed crawling with equal success, and the suspension was designed to crawl over boulders the size of Volkswagens without damage. Handsome 16-inch NATO steel wheels look durable and wear 235/85/16 Michelin XZL off-road tires that look right.Go anywhere, do anything, and do it in style and comfort, that's the Land Rover way. This is a very impressive machine, even if you never set tire off pavement. Call today!
