They are vasty different. The 90 versions (300 made) seem to go between £8k and £14k for a mint one... these 110 versions (only 100 made) start at around £14k and can go as high as £20k. The only other 110 for sale just now (in Glasgow strangely enough and not as nice as this one!) is up for £17k
I suppose that's a realistic sort of price considering they were over £30k new back in 2001... an insane amount of money for a Defender back then. I was speaking to my mate that works for Landrover about it the other night and he was saying even the basic Tomb Raider had over £7k worth of extras on it from the factory - and with this one having the "Extreme Pack" that was another £4k
It all adds up!
As for the engine, it's a sensible TD5 I'm afraid. The movie version was a 4.2 V8 from a Discovery and mounted into a Defender 130 Hi-Cap (they never came as either a soft top or a V8!)
Landrover Special Vehicles built two of them, and as for as I know both are now in motor heritage centres
