Model History: The 1999 Land Rover Defender 110 represents the final evolution of the TD5-powered generation, marking the culmination of nearly two decades of continuous refinement to the iconic utility vehicle. Introduced in 1998, the TD5 engine replaced the aging 300Tdi with a sophisticated 2.5-liter five-cylinder turbodiesel featuring electronic fuel injection and improved NVH characteristics. This generation maintained the Defender's legendary coil-sprung chassis and permanent four-wheel-drive system while incorporating modern conveniences like central locking and improved interior appointments. The 110 wheelbase variant offered the perfect balance of cargo capacity and maneuverability, making it the preferred choice for serious expedition work and commercial applications worldwide. By 1999, Land Rover had addressed many of the earlier TD5 teething issues, resulting in a more reliable and refined driving experience without compromising the model's fundamental go-anywhere capability. The electronic engine management system provided better fuel economy and emissions compliance compared to its mechanical predecessors, while the robust R380 five-speed manual transmission could handle the increased torque output. This generation's significance lies in its position as the last truly utilitarian Defender before the model's discontinuation in 2016, making well-preserved examples increasingly sought after by collectors who appreciate authentic British engineering heritage combined with proven real-world capability across diverse terrain and climate conditions.
