90 and 110 Range

30 Years of the Coil-Sprung 4 x 4 Models

Livre en Anglais de James Taylor

Land Rover Defender, 90 and 110 Range - 30 Years of the Coil-Spring 4x4 Models charts the evolution of the coil-sprung Defender vehicles.

When Land Rover switched from leaf springs to coil springs for their utility models in 1983, it was a major step forward.

The first coil-sprung model, the One Ten, replaced the Series III 109s.

The short-wheelbase Ninety replaced the Series III 88s in 1984.

From 1990, the models were all re-branded as Land Rover Defenders - 90, 110 and 140 - as the Land Rover range expanded and the marketing teams wanted a new name. 

Topics covered include: 

Origins of the Defender and early Ninety and One Ten Models

Development and use of the long-wheelbase models

Special conversions and Defenders built outside the UK

including in Australia and South Africa; Military and emergency service use of the Defender

Detailed examinations of engines and engineering, and the focus on diesel power

The future of the Defender.
