Why It’s Curated: This 1997 Land Rover Defender 110 Pickup is for sale near Palm Bay, Florida. This is a rare (see below) 2.8i that was imported from South Africa last year. Before importation, it received new paint, interior and a transfer case. Once it arrived, the owner installed rear stub axles, bearings, and drive flanges, all prop-shafts and a rebuilt rear diff, see details below. Finding a 110 pickup is rare. Find a 2.8i 110 pickup is extremely rare. There can’t be many in the US. For one of us, the 110 pickup is the ideal body for a Defender that allows one to take family and friends along with muddy dirt bikes or snowy skis without getting the interior dirty. Please let us know if you have any questions about this truck.

The Defender 2.8i:
Only ever available in South Africa, the Defender 2.8i is powered by a six-cylinder, BMW, M52 engine.  Only 739 D110 2.8i’s were built following the takeover of Land Rover by BMW.  Due to the limited production run and that Land Rover discontinued the Defender in 2016, these trucks are considered rare and prized amongst collectors.
