Nooooooo!
I like correcting people on mine.
It usually goes a bit like- 'ave ya finished that Defender yet?' And I reply 'it's actually a Land Rover 110, and not quite' or 'I see that defenders still making your your garden look a mess' and I say, 'somebodies parked a defender on my garden?' or 'is that Defender going to be for sale at any point?' which is followed by 'what Defender? I can only see a 110'.
I’m a OneTen owner myself, but I don’t correct everyone, it gets tiresome and people will start thinking I’m some sad Landy anorak! If they should know better, then I correct them. If I were to ever sell her, God forbid, I’d put Defender in the description, but make it clear she’s a pre-Defender OneTen - it would appeal to a wider market as a Defender.
 
My 1985 (1988 reg) 'Ninety' 90 2.5P was advertised as a 'Defender' 90.....:rolleyes:
It was on sale locally for £5,500 but I got it for £4000 after a lot of bargaining. On the whole she's a good 'un and we are very happy :) but I think that £3500 would have been more realistic but she was too good to pass.
I really wanted a factory V8 but the prices for those are still silly, but they are genuinely rare so to be expected. Probably end up doing a transplant on this one if I can find a decent engine and box.
Hopefully prices will continue to fall - apologies to anyone trying to sell one :p - and return to more sensible levels.
 
Yeah 1990 so 1991 MY.
After they brought out the Discovery in 1989 they needed a name for the original Land Rover.

Traitor. :(
 
I've been looking to buy a 2005 Td5 for a while now as a base to build another V8 project - Still looking for crazy money so my pile of parts will be waiting until things are looking more realistic!
 
17k of course its not selling....13 years old with more fails than passes on its old MOT's.
