2010, how is that possible?

I understand that it could be a show car at a dealership, but driving down a freeway?

Just curious..............

Looks like a North American Spec 110 to me. They were brought in for the 93-94 model years I believe. There aren't vary many (Something like 500) The giveaway is the external roll cage, no other market got it.

wasn't this already answered in the comments of the original post?

Yes, 1993 Land Rover Defender 110 #276 of 500. Only 500 were made for the US and 25 for Canada.

thats one of the 500 brought in to the US in 1993. The only year the 110’s came out to reintroduce the brand Land Rover. In 1994 LR introduced the Defender 90 2 door . The D90 was discontinued in 1997 because of safety reasons. No airbags. The North American Spec D110 is the only Defender that came with an external roll cage. It was required by US for safety reasons. Non of the Defenders in other countries have the external roll cages.

He may have shipped it over in Europe they have just about always sold the defender. Expensive not only the shipping but also the work that needs to get done to pass inspections but do-able. I have a friend who shipped his Audi over when he moved
