When Land Rover axed their epic Defender in 2016, there was plenty of anger from the automotive community. After all, the original Defender was one of the few proper off-roaders that stayed true to relatively simplistic, tough, and pre-digital roots. It was a vehicle that one could buy and instantly feel the heritage and decades of engineering that went into it. Land Rover knew this, so they introduced the New Defender, or L663 era just four years later. Building on the original Defender’s capabilities and go-anywhere ethos, Land Rover thoroughly modernized it and gave it performance that the original could only dream of. Also, they continued to offer it in 90,110 and 130 forms. Today’s 2023 Land Rover Defender 130 SE comes from Boca Raton, Florida, and comes with only 11,771 miles to its name. So, it’s a fantastic four-by-four for an outdoorsy family with plenty of gear to carry around.

The Land Rover Defender is probably one of a handful of proper four-by-fours. Forget low profile tires, myriad digital screens and electronics that will throw a fit if a little bit of mud gets splashed on them; the Defender can keep moving even if its caked in mud and tossed around in dirt. Building on the fantastic Series 1 of 1948, the Defender name came about in late 1990, and since then, has been revered by those who want no-nonsense off-road abilities. Of course, vehicles like this 1989 Land Rover Defender 110 from Waxhaw, North Carolina do have some nice features such as Exmoor high-back diamond-stitched leather seats and an aftermarket V8, but this one also enjoys a 4-inch lift kit and Fox Racing shocks, on top of many other things.
