| Miscellaneous Info: | From 1983 through
approximately 1990, this vehicle was designated "Land Rover 90" and
"Land Rover 110". Afterwards, it was then rebranded as "Defender".
It is offered in two main variants, the 93 inch wheelbase (often stated
as 90 inch)
Truck Utility Light (TUL) and the 110 inch wheelbase
Truck Utility Medium (TUM), with further
differentiations including General Service (GS) or
Fitted for Radio (FFR) vehicles, which also come in
hard and soft topped configurations. This vehicle is quite
different than its successor the Defender
HS/XD "Wolf" utility vehicle. Many Defender Land Rovers have been modified for combat duties and are armed and/or armored. Some examples are the SAS Desert Patrol Vehicle (DPV), US Rangers' Special Operations Vehicle (RSOV), Glover-Webb APV, "Snatch" Land Rover (CAV 100), and Royal Ulster Constabulary (RUC) "Tangi" Armored Patrol Vehicle. |
