200Tdi-Powered 1989 Land Rover 110 5-Speed

Description

The Land Rover Defender 110 has long stood as one of the most capable and customizable off‑road platforms ever produced, blending utilitarian design with go‑anywhere capability. For many enthusiasts, 200Tdi‑powered examples represent a sweet spot, offering robust mechanical simplicity, strong torque delivery, and long-term serviceability.

This right-hand-drive 1989 Land Rover 110 is powered by a replacement 2.5‑liter 200Tdi turbodiesel inline-four paired with a five-speed manual transmission and a dual-range transfer case with a locking center differential. The truck was reportedly refurbished by TopHat Classics of Scottsdale, Arizona, and refinished in green with a white roof over diamond stitched Cognac upholstery.

Exterior upgrades include KBX front and Hi-Force wing-top grilles, LED lighting, a Puma-style hood, snorkel, and Kahn 18″ wheels, while the interior features a custom audio system with Pioneer touchscreen, upgraded seating, and refreshed cabin materials.

This modified 1989 Land Rover 110 is now offered with recent service records, a clean CARFAX Vehicle History Report, and a clean Pennsylvania title listing the vehicle as a 1992 model.
