The traditional Land Rover body shape remained but coil springs, introduced in the new Range Rover, replaced the long-lived leaf spring suspension, and the four-cylinder engines were fitted with an all-synchromesh five speed gearbox. In 1984 the coil spring Ninety (with a wheelbase just short of 93 inches) fitted with a four-cylinder engine was introduced. A 3.5liter Rover V8-powered version appeared the following year and in 1986 a new 85bhp, 2,495cc turbo-diesel engine became available. In 1990 the Ninety and One-Ten range was renamed Defender 90, 110 and 130.
THE CAR OFFERED
The Defender offered is a genuine British workhorse. Delivered new in the United Kingdom in the right-hand drive configuration, it was first registered as "C456 UKV" on September 5, 1985. From the first year of production offering the venerable 3.5-liter Rover V8, this example pairs that robust motor to a 5-speed manual transmission. Finished in the classic English countryside shade of Balmoral Green, it no doubt spent many a bucolic season bouncing around the verdant greenery of Great Britain shuttling between driven pheasant hunts, horse races, farmers markets, and Scottish Highland holidays—or so one would like to dream. The early history of this Landy is as yet not recorded.
The present owner acquired this One Ten from the Land Rover Center in Huddersfield—appropriately located in the northern part of England between Manchester and Leeds—in January 2017 and promptly exported it from the rich, green, rolling hill of jolly olde England to the rich, green, rolling hills of Westchester County, New York.
Driven about 4,000 miles in the past six years, the truck has been maintained at local garages. Somewhat unused in recent times, it is reported that some wrenching will be required—specifically replacing the clutch—before taking it on your next grouse hunt.
The quintessential country estate conveyance, this Defender One-Ten is equally at home in the Hamptons or Nantucket as it is in Beverly Hills or the West Village. A capable machine that can get you out of situations most trucks couldn't get you into, it has a brutish and utilitarian stylishness that fits like a tailored, tweed hunting suit. Outfitted inside in black vinyl, a rear bench provides seating for three guests, and auxiliary jump seats in caged off rear have room for four more folks, rowdy children, frenemies, or hunting dogs. A roof mounted rack offers ample opportunities for carrying all manner of gear and equipment around one's gentleman farm or ranch.
Recently serviced, the Landy performed well on a recent test drive by a Bonhams|Cars specialist. Complete with copies of service records, import documentation, the old UK V5, purchase paperwork, a British Motoring Industry Heritage Trust Certificate, and two work shop manuals (Haynes Land Rover 90, 110, Defender 1983 to 2007 and Land Rover 90110Defender Workshop Manual (from 1983-1995 MY) Owner's Edition), the only thing missing from this Landy is a Barbour coat and an over-and-under shotgun.
