The Land Rover Defender 110: an exceptional off-roader
Launched in 1983 as the Defender, this model continues the legacy of the Series Land Rover, created in 1948. The Defender 110 is distinguished by its longer 110-inch wheelbase, offering superior carrying capacity and remarkable versatility. This long version was particularly popular with professionals and adventurers requiring substantial cargo space.
The 2005 model benefited from the latest technical developments in the range, particularly in terms of engines and comfort, while retaining the legendary off-road qualities for which Land Rover is renowned. Its robust ladder-frame construction and permanent all-wheel drive made it a benchmark vehicle for the most demanding missions.
Commercial and military, agricultural and family, the Defender 110 was suitable for all uses thanks to its numerous body styles and configurations. Its global success is a testament to the relevance of this British off-road concept.
Land Rover: British off-road expertise
Founded in 1948 by brothers Maurice and Spencer Wilks, Land Rover was born out of a desire to create a rugged utility vehicle for the post-war era. Inspired by the American Jeep, British engineers developed a revolutionary concept combining mechanical simplicity, exceptional robustness, and unrivaled off-road capability.
In 2005, the year of this model car model, Land Rover had already belonged to the Ford group since 2000, but retained its British DNA and unique expertise. The brand then established itself as a global benchmark for luxury off-road vehicles with the Range Rover, while maintaining the utilitarian tradition with the Defender. This duality between refinement and robustness perfectly characterizes the Land Rover identity of this period.
The brand's heritage is built on decades of technical innovation and a presence on every continent, from polar expeditions to African safaris and British farms.
A cultural icon beyond the automobile
The Land Rover Defender transcended its status as a mere vehicle to become a true cultural phenomenon . In the 2000s, it became the essential accessory for British celebrities living in the countryside, from David Beckham to the British royal family. Queen Elizabeth II herself was an avid Land Rover user, helping to anchor the brand in British identity.
In film, the Defender has established itself as the star of numerous productions, notably in the James Bond saga and BBC wildlife documentaries. Its distinctive appearance and exceptional capabilities make it the ideal companion for modern adventurers and explorers, reinforcing its image as an exceptional vehicle.
The year 2005 marked a pivotal period for the model, as the first rumors of a production halt began to circulate in response to new European safety standards. This announcement gradually transformed the Defender into a collector's item , fueling a passion that would continue to grow until production finally ceased in 2016.
The khaki green livery of this model car directly evokes the vehicle's military origins , recalling its use by the British armed forces and many Commonwealth countries. This iconic color symbolizes the adventure, exploration, and pioneering spirit that characterizes the Land Rover universe.
