LR 90/110 pre defender question

sirwin · Apr 3, 2018

I didn't realise their was a pre defender 90 or 110. Am I right in saying that their is a LR defender 110 as well as a LR 110?

I've always refered to mine as a defender 110 but it's probably just a 110. I can't see the word "defender" on the log book.

Mine is a 22.11.85 n/a diesel.

Just call it a 110. It's easier.

The name defender came in with the 200tdi engine and the introduction of The discovery. So my ‘89 110 is also not a defender.

Interesting. I had no idea.

Yup, definitely a ‘LANDROVER 110’. Sounds like a nice original Landy, any pics?

Bizarrely it should be written as a “OneTen”, even though the badges say “LandRover110”.
Now you know you’ve not got a Defender you can start correcting people when they say “ nice Defender, mate! “, you say “well, actually it’s not a Defender it’s a...”. They’ll soon get bored and wander off.

My 1990 90 is also not a Defender. It was one of the last turbo diesels made all though today it has a 200tdi.

My 110, 1990 was a pre production run which was given to the French military for assessment. It's a Defender and was one of the first.

My '92 200TDi most certainly IS a Defender

Defender name was used from mid 1990.

Not quite true, you could still get Defender 2.5NA's in the early 1990's.

My 1990 land Rover is described as LR 90 4C SW in the V5 ??

My 1968 series 2 IS NOT A DEFENDER. I don’t care if you’re a good looking woman, it’s not a defender and it’s certainly not a ****ing jeep.

I may have yes.

I think some of the later military na landys were built after the defender name came in.
