The Land Rover 110 was the longer-wheelbase member of the coil-sprung utility range launched in 1983 to replace the leaf-sprung Series models. Its coil-spring suspension greatly improved ride and axle articulation over the old design, and it was later rebadged as the Defender 110 in 1990. It served as the workhorse variant, offered in numerous body and drivetrain configurations.
The Land Rover One Ten, named for its 110-inch wheelbase, arrived in 1983 as the larger of the modernized coil-sprung utility Land Rovers that replaced the leaf-sprung Series III. It brought long-travel coil suspension, permanent four-wheel drive and a roomier body while keeping the rugged farm-and-expedition character of the originals. This model formed the direct basis for the vehicle that would be renamed Defender in 1990.
