Description
1990 Land Rover 110 4. 6 Litre V8. Blue with white roof and black Sparco upholstery. Originally fitted with a petrol V8 this 110 has been professionally modified to provide a much more powerful engine with the added benefit of running on the newer E10 unleaded fuel. Originally supplied to the military in 1990 it then passed into private hands and was first registered for the road with the DVLA in 1999. A previous owner decided that the power delivery and handling of this 110 needed some improvement and sought the help of Land Rover specialists to resolve the issue. The result was changing the existing V8 engine for a 40th anniversary Land Rover 4. 0 V8 which had been increased in cubic capacity to a more invigorating 4. 6 litres. Added to this was a fully programmable ECU to vary the engine power delivery and characteristics to suit the driver, and various other performance upgrades to help harness the increased power and torque now available. An uprated competition heavy duty clutch was added to the mix along with a fully reconditioned 5 speed Santana gearbox, a sports stainless steel exhaust system connected to an uprated manifold and K&N air filters. Uprated coil over suspension all fully poly bushed was fitted all round with all the rose bushes being welded just for good measure. The car comes with lots of previous MOTs collected over the years together with some receipts for various works and items. Inside the Defender youll find the usual basic but functional layout and fascia with a few modifications in the form of two Sparco seats and a Momo steering wheel all in nice clean condition. The interior is in very presentable condition having recently been refurbished with a decent centre cubby box, carpets and rubber mats throughout. Theres a new battery fitted under the quick-release passenger seat and the interior of the roof is nice from front to back. The white steel wheels, running with wheel spacers, are free from any damage and all are shod with matching tyres with plenty of life left in them. The floor of the whole car very solid with a similarly solid underside. Many £000s have been spent to make this Defender drive smoothly and deliver a more spirited and easy driving experience. Along with the various performance upgrades the car most recently been fully serviced and tuned and is great fun to drive with a fabulous exhaust note to boot. Power steering makes it easy in smaller tighter spaces as well. As part of the recent works the car has had a completely new wiring loom. The Land Rover Defender is a great example of the genre whose roots you can trace back to 1948 when the first Series 1 Land Rover was born. Loved and worshipped by drivers from all walks of life, from the Queen, to farmers and those just doing the school run, whether youre looking for a serious workhorse or a timeless classic car that will continue to be in demand, the Defender is the perfect solution, with this ones performance upgrades seriously improving the fun factor and driver experience.
