This Defender 110 is a rare pickup version that underwent restoration a few years ago, but is not so perfect that you should be afraid to get it dirty. It would make a great adventure or overland rig that would be a hit at shows as well!
There is virtually no rust underneath and the undercarriage was coated during restoration, please see undercarriage photos. The door hinges are tight. The exterior sheet metal is wavy in many places, most notably near door handles, lower quarter panels, and the roof. Paint isn't 10/10, but it's a great "10-footer." Interior is in great condition.
