Notes:

• 110 and 130 are just long wheelbase versions of the 90. Pre 1988 Land Rovers had galvanized bumpers. 1988 and later Land Rovers and Defenders had black powder coated bumpers. 1983-1989 Land Rovers have a sign just above the grill and below the bonnet (hood) that reads "Land Rover" and it's wheel base (ie "Land Rover 110"). 1990 Land Rovers have signs in the same place that just list it's wheel base (ie "110"). From 1991 to the present the sign reads "Defender".
• In Autumn 1990 the name of these models were changed from Land Rover to Defender.
