Legendary 1996 Land Rover Defender 110 - Built for Adventure! This is a rare 3 door model that is two passenger doors with the same wheelbase as the 4 door model.

Our Take:
- Rare 3-Door Configuration: The 1996 Land Rover Defender 110 with three doors, including two passenger doors, adds a unique twist to the standard Defender lineup. This configuration is relatively uncommon, and it's a delightful throwback to the utilitarian, expedition-ready vibe that Land Rover aficionados adore.
- Spanish Import Without Rust: It’s tough to find a Defender of this vintage that’s rust-free. This is a Spanish import, which often means it spent most of its life in a dry climate — plus, it avoids the dreaded rust that often plagues these sturdy beasts.
- Legendary 300TDI Diesel Engine: Known for its durability and robust off-road capability, the 300TDI diesel engine is a favorite among purists. It’s a classic powerplant that offers a nostalgic diesel rumble, yet still manages to deliver decent fuel economy (24 mpg isn’t too shabby for such a hefty vehicle).
- Adventure-Ready Features: With a roof rack, snorkel kit, and all-terrain tires, this Defender is kitted out for the daring adventurer. Whether you’re meandering through the city or tackling the rugged backcountry, these enhancements speak to the vehicle’s capability — it’s as if it was whispering, “Take me off-road!”
