The Rover company of Britain had to shift their priorities to adjust to the post-war consumer environment. Prior to the War, Rover made luxury cars but in a new era of promised prosperity among austerity, the automaker turned their attention towards bolstering Britain’s burgeoning agricultural industry. The Willys Jeep of USA was the inspiration, and what emerged was the Land Rover Series in 1948. The Series became the Series II, Series III, and Defender over many decades of solid service, not only in Britain, but across the world. Meanwhile, a Spanish automaking outfit called Santana started working closely with Land Rover to build their own versions in Spain. Today, we’ve got one of their creations, a 1976 Land Rover 88 Series III Santana that was reportedly given a full frame-off restoration in 2023. The vehicle’s rebuilt engine has got less than 1,000 miles on it, as has its rebuilt gearbox. Furthermore, this vehicle was imported from Colombia, highlighting the journey that it’s taken halfway across the world to get to Florida where it currently awaits a new owner – which could be you!
This 1976 Land Rover 88 Series III Santana enjoys a new green paint job that was done in 2023 as part of its restoration, replete with a cream canvas top – yes, this is a convertible off-roader. The 16-inch steel wheels are cream colored as well, and wrapped in JK Tyre Jet-Trak tires. There’s also a tow ball, because even though this vehicle is approaching senior citizens status, it’s still unafraid to get its wheels dirty. Just remember that the front locking hubs must be manually locked before venturing into the rough stuff. The interior of this 1976 Land Rover 88 Series III Santana features new tan bucket seats, and a new center console with cup holders. The classic theme is largely preserved, but infotainment has been given a massive boost. From the factory, if you wanted music in your Series III, you had to sing it yourself. Now, there’s a Kenwood head unit and Pioneer speakers to take the load off your vocal chords.
Sporting a 2.25 (2,286cc)-liter 4-cylinder engine, this 1976 Land Rover 88 Series III Santana isn’t a highway stormer but will plough through any terrain slowly but surely. There’s a 4-speed manual gearbox and a dual-range transfer case to help you get by. The vehicle also has all new power-assisted drum brakes, we’re told.

Land Rover, that iconic British automaker who gave us the OG Defender way back in 1948, has only risen from strength to strength. Curiously, they are one of a handful of automakers who’ve only offered SUVs in their portfolio. You won’t find a sports car, grand tourer, sedan, station wagon or pickup truck (unless you count the original Defender which was offered in open-bed form). Their Range Rover sub-brand is well-regarded for being a cut above its parent, in terms of luxury as well as sportiness. That’s where this 2022 Land Rover Range Rover Sport HSE hails from. With under 63,000 miles on the odometer, this two-row midsize luxury SUV is perfect for a family that needs space, luxury, off-road ability and cargo capacity. It’s up for grabs in Largo with two keys included in the sale.
Are you searching for a luxury off-roader with British style and luxury, solid engineering and a pretty decent off-road ability thrown in for good measure? Oh, and would you prefer it to have at least 500 horsepower? Yes, there’s a machine right now in our inventory that ticks all those boxes. It’s this 61,000-mile 2020 Land Rover Range Rover P525 HSE LWB from New York. Its 5.0-liter supercharged V8 can give you 518hp while making all the right noises. Meanwhile, its 22-way heated and cooled front seats with memory and massage functions can keep you comfortable under the most demanding driving conditions, be it off-road, or city traffic. There’s even an 825-watt Meridian sound system to soothe your nerves with music of your choice, or, alternatively, get you into a festive mood. What’s not to like about this five-seat family hauler, then?
This 1990 Land Rover Defender 90 is a comprehensive restomod build that combines classic British off-road heritage with modern American performance. Built on a two-door Defender chassis, the vehicle underwent an extensive frame-off restoration and modernization. Power comes from a Mast Motorsports turn-key GM LS-based 5.3L naturally aspirated V8 paired with a 6L80E 6-speed automatic transmission, delivering significantly improved performance and reliability compared to the original powertrain. Finished in black over a black vinyl interior, this Defender features a full Kahn Design armored body kit along with numerous mechanical, exterior, and interior upgrades designed to modernize the vehicle while maintaining the rugged character that defines the Defender platform.
Do you ever get the feeling of just escaping, cash in on all those paid leaves you've been stockpiling, and just get in and drive to where you desire? If this is you, worry not, you aren't the only one. Say you manage to clear up your schedule and look forward to the open road, the next step is what will be your mechanical friend to travel far and wide. There are a host of options available to do this, but as luck would have it, we have just the right machine for the job. Present today is this 1971 Volkswagen Type 2 Transporter. This classic advocate for peace, love, and no to war is reported to have just under 100,000 miles on its clock and is on the lookout for a partner that's willing to clock in 100,000 more.
This 1969 Chevrolet C10 Restomod shows 3,872 miles on the odometer and has been modified with modern performance and suspension upgrades. Power comes from a naturally aspirated 6.0-liter LQ4 LS V8 equipped with Holley electronic fuel injection and paired with a manual transmission driving the rear wheels. Finished in a turquoise patina exterior with a white roof over a black interior, the truck features an AccuAir E-Level air suspension system, a bed-mounted RCI 20-gallon fuel cell, and 22×9 powder-coated white steel wheels with Chevrolet dog-dish center caps.
The forerunner to today’s Chevy Tahoe and GMC Yukon, the K5 Blazer was available between 1969 and 1994, across three generations. It’s built on a shortened C/K-Series half-ton truck platform, and offers a proper, four-wheel drive SUV for those who want to venture off-road at will. That’s why this fine blue second-generation 1986 Chevrolet K5 Blazer is the ideal adventure vehicle. It’s got a low 39,000 miles on the clock, comes with the owner’s manual, and two full sets of keys too. Currently domiciled in Winneconne, Wisconsin, it’s the ideal weekend getaway tool, given its refreshing lack of frustrating menus, digital distractions and soul-sucking software nannies.
