Land Rover Series III Defender 110 (1983)

The Land Rover 110 carried the basic Land Rover idea into a more modern coil-sprung era, even before the Defender name became formalised. Rugged construction, simple panels and exceptional off-road ability made it a working vehicle for farms, expeditions, militaries and remote communities.

Its importance is about function more than glamour. The 110 shape became one of the most recognisable utility-vehicle profiles in the world, valued because it could be repaired, adapted and trusted in places where ordinary cars could not operate.
