Land Rover Defender 110 TD Hard Top, 1990.

AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

GENERAL:

In this auction a rare and fascinating specimen of Land Rover Defender 110 Hard Top Commercial is offered, first registered in Italy in 1990. This off-road vehicle, powered by a turbo diesel, presents in exceptional condition thanks to a total and meticulous restoration that touched both the aesthetic and mechanical parts, making it a vehicle regularly used and ready for any challenge. An extraordinarily important collectible asset is the official inscription in the Land Rover Historic Registry, a prestigious certification that formally attests to the absolute originality, the correct historical configuration, and the high value of this specific investment over time. Additionally, the vehicle is accompanied by a rare file of official homologations issued directly by the manufacturer Jaguar Land Rover, an extremely difficult bureaucratic and technical detail to obtain that further elevates the quality of the offer on the international market.

BODYWORK & PAINTWORK:

The body of this Defender 110 has undergone a complete aesthetic restoration of the very highest level and today presents itself in a stunning deep black gloss color. All external aluminum panels are perfectly straight, sound, and show the factory-typical geometric alignments, free of distortions, dents, or notable scratches. The exterior structure is enhanced and protected by certified accessories, including the rugged front bull-bar, the snorkel for deep water crossings, dedicated protective grilles for the lighting units, and the side steps. Structurally, the chassis and underbody are in excellent condition, completely free of structural rust or penetrative corrosion, thanks also to a specialist protective treatment performed to preserve the metal from wear and weather. The glass, rubber seals, and all additional LED lighting are intact, clear, and in impeccable conservation.

TECHNICAL DATA:

Under the hood beats the legendary and robust 2,500 cc diesel engine, identified by the technical code 19J, delivering a catalog power of 65 kW, equivalent to 88 horsepower. The entire mechanical unit was completely rebuilt from scratch about twenty thousand kilometers ago, guaranteeing smooth operation today, immediate cold and hot starts, and total absence of abnormal fumes or fluid leaks. The five-speed manual transmission engages precisely and meshes perfectly with the permanent four-wheel drive system, complete with a low-range transfer case and differential lock, both fully functional and free of mechanical play or background noise. The front and rear axles, suspension arms, braking system, and steering have been fully overhauled and are in perfect order. The vehicle rides on treaded tires in excellent condition with deep tread and boasts a homologated towing capacity of no less than one thousand seven hundred kilograms.

INTERIOR:

The cabin of this Defender has been completely reimagined and rebuilt, blending the vehicle's Spartan soul with a touch of high-end customized craftsmanship. The standout element is undoubtedly the completely bespoke rear floor, crafted in solid larch wood, finely treated and waterproofed to withstand wear and to give a nautical and elegant look to the commercial area. The front seats have been reupholstered and are in excellent condition, free of rips, padding sag, or stains, ensuring maximum comfort for daily driving. All interior door panels and trims have been carefully restored, while the original dashboard remains clean, tidy, and free of cracks. To improve on-board livability, a modern integrated utility panel has been installed, including 12-volt auxiliary sockets, USB ports for device charging, and a digital voltmeter for constant battery monitoring.

DOCUMENTATION:

The documentation accompanying this Land Rover is exceptionally rich, transparent, and represents a solid guarantee for any Italian or foreign buyer. The set includes the valid Italian registration certificate, the original license plate, and the valuable paper certificate of registration in the Land Rover Historic Registry, to be delivered in original at the time of transfer of ownership. Of fundamental importance is the presence of official Jaguar Land Rover authorizations that regularize and legally homologate all special components installed on the vehicle, such as the bull-bar, additional LED headlights, and the snorkel. Currently the vehicle is registered as an N1 category truck for private use with a three-seat front configuration; however, thanks to the provided official technical documentation, the vehicle is already prepared for a conversion and homologation process up to six total seats with no bureaucratic complications. Also present are invoices and certifications relating to the complete engine rebuild.

PICKUP:

The pickup and delivery operations of the off-road vehicle will take place at the end of the sale and will be entirely at the purchaser’s expense, who may organize transport according to their preferences. The seller offers maximum availability and full logistical support to facilitate both in-person pickup and loading of the vehicle onto car carriers or specialized transporters, both nationally and internationally. If the vehicle is won by a collector residing outside Italian territory, all necessary assistance will be provided and collaboration with local vehicle paperwork agencies will be offered to obtain export deregistration documents promptly. The Defender is located in a place easily accessible to heavy transport, ensuring safe and smooth handling of the vehicle for the shipping companies in charge.

FURTHER INFORMATION:

This Land Rover Defender 110 Hard Top Commercial represents a rare combination of old-time ruggedness, commercial versatility, and timeless, collectible charm. The meticulous care given to the restoration and the presence of official historic certifications make it a unique piece, perfect as a showroom publicity vehicle for a company, as an adventure companion for weekends, or as a financially appreciating investment. The possibility of configuring it in the future as a six-seat car offers an unprecedented flexibility of use for vehicles of that era. A visit and direct viewing of the vehicle before the auction deadline is highly recommended, by appointment to be arranged through the official channels of the Catawiki platform, so as to personally assess the incredible quality of the details, the precision of the restorations, and the extraordinary street presence of this icon of off-road motoring.

Catawiki always aims to offer you the best possible buying experience. Our experts virtually review and select every vehicle in line with our submission guidelines and we require our sellers to provide the most accurate description of the vehicle. However, providing a fully detailed analysis of the vehicle is extremely difficult, and close to impossible. To guide you, we ask our sellers to provide information about the vehicle’s condition. Please consider that most vehicles for sale are classic vehicles and they often already have a whole life behind them, meaning that even a condition 1 or 2 vehicle might need maintenance to be ready for the road. It is advised to carefully read our submission guidelines that further describe details about the condition grades and types to manage your expectations. Cars are sold “as is”, meaning as described and in the condition they are in at the time of the sale and without any representation, warranty or assumption of liability of any kind as to the condition by Catawiki or by the seller. The condition of this item is the opinion of the seller and may differ from yours, your local garage, or the dealer’s opinion. This does not automatically mean the car does not conform to its description. Before bidding, please check your local legislation regarding vehicle registration. Neither the seller nor Catawiki is responsible for the registration of the vehicle in your country and will not accept a cancellation for your failure to register the vehicle. We also recommend that, if possible, you arrange a viewing with the seller before placing a bid.
