1986 Defender 110 V8 Petrol CSW Trident Green

I may be late to the party, as it sounds like you may have already decided, but here goes.... oh and I'm new here, so hello!

Back on topic though - I owned the same 90 (a V

for 20 years before making a tough decision to sell it and buy a 110 SW. The change was principally driven by an expanding family. One small child plus clutter in a 90 is manageable, two is too much of a squeeze.

Aside from the emotional element, I am glad I bought the 110. It suits my life now. Yes it takes more space to turn around than the 90, or squeeze between trees off road, but ya know it is more maneuverable than SWMBO's Merc B class in Tescos car park! Off road it put a tricked up Disco 1 to shame too, so don't give up your mountain goat ideas just yet.

Kiddies bikes and buggies disappear in the back instead of being piled on top of said kids, and they love the view from the second row. The ride is far better (less pitchy) than the 90, and it tows better.

I have a full length Brownchurch rack for the 110, but I only use this when carrying things that won't fit inside. It does not benefit handling or economy in any way, and therefore doesn't live on the truck, I just stick it on when necessary. It's a little awkward, but I can just about do this on my own

Generally I miss the 90, but I don't regret buying the 110.

Hello

Depends what you want to use the Defender for?

I do a lot of camping (with the family), regularly collecting items from B & Q and ikea and such places, taking bikes with us to places.

For us although I prefer the look of the 90, the 110 is FAR more usable, If we go out as a family the 90 would have nothing like the room for our stuff.

2011 Defender 90 Puma 2.4 XS CSW Galway Green

I have a 90 and a small trailer for the odd occasion I need to carry much stuff, being limited to 4 seats is sometimes a problem but also a good reason to not always become the driver DEFENDER 90 TDCI XS,

I hope everyone is well and your land rovers make you happy

I always wanted a 90. They look better (IMO) go better, smaller, more manoeuvrable, lighter, smidgen better on fuel etc. But my main use case was/is for bussing my scouts around, loading up with camping gear and towing a big twin axle ifor williams.

The 110 whilst bigger is actually smaller (length) than a mondeo, and barely wider than a m1TT, so pretty compact really!

I pick up my 110 this weekend

The more defender the better is what I say... 90 was fun and a nice intro into the club but for my daily the 110 is proving great. Would love a 90 pickup to go along with the 110. Best of both. Andy
