I remember sticking my head into the wheel well of the Defender when it was first unveiled in a suburban Mumbai showroom. It was not the smartest thing to do, but it gave me critical insight into its abilities. Give or take a few years in its 67-year history, the Defender has been defending its status as the ultimate go-anywhere vehicle and has seen service in wars, natural disasters and lately, luxury resort porches. The 110 that I was driving for a few days is the middle child, with the 90 being the 2-door variant that is closest in inspiration to the original, while the 130 is the newest addition to the family, adding a third row of seating.
