The photograph
Figure 1 · The documented example
The record caption calls the vehicle a Land Rover Defender 110 L316 Station Wagon in Coniston Green. As with every caption, that is the uploader’s identification recorded on the file page — a documented claim, not an authenticated vehicle identity.
What “L316” and “110” mean
Jaguar Land Rover Classic describes the L316 series — Defender 90 and 110 — as the 2007–2016 run of the classic shape. Its parts documentation distinguishes the 90, a short-wheelbase three-door Station Wagon, from the 110, a long-wheelbase five-door Station Wagon — the body style visible in the photograph is the five-door wagon.
As a market reference point only, a JLR Classic UK sales record lists a 2015 Defender 110 XS in pounds. That documents what a UK-market example looked like on paper; it says nothing about where this photographed vehicle was first sold.
What this photo can’t tell you
- Exact year and trim. Somewhere in the 2007–2016 L316 window is as far as the record goes; XS, County, or other grades are not established.
- Original market. The camera was in the Philippines — a photo location is not evidence of the vehicle’s original sales market or specification.
- Condition and originality. Accessories like the snorkel and roof equipment are visible, but no VIN, service history, or originality follows from the pixels.
- The closest comparison. Within the same family, the three-door Defender 90 is the nearest alternative — distinguishable by wheelbase and door count, not by the caption alone.
Take it further
The body styles guide puts names to shapes like this five-door wagon, and the grey-market guide explains why a photographed location and a vehicle’s original market are different questions. For the reading order on any photo, see identify a car from a photo.
