Land Rover Defender

Land Rover Defender 110 SW 2.4 CRD S

Square, honest and unmistakable, the classic Defender has a presence no modern SUV can imitate. This 2011 110 Station Wagon, in metallic paint, shows 8,000 km on the odometer.

Under the bonnet is the 2.4-litre four-cylinder turbodiesel from Ford's DuraTorq family, with 122 hp, matched to a six-speed manual gearbox and permanent four-wheel drive. Simple, sturdy engineering, built for the places where tarmac ends.

The bloodline starts with the Land Rover shown in Amsterdam in 1948. The 110 arrived in 1983 as the One Ten, with coil springs and permanent four-wheel drive, and became the Defender in 1990. The 2.4 engine came in 2007; production ended in 2016, after 67 years.
