The British four-wheel drive and off-road capable manufacturer Land Rover is one of those automobile manufacturers still holding up to its name and capabilities. It is a brand of Jaguar Land Rover and was introduced in 1948. Arguably the Land Rover Defender is the most well-known model of their lineup, the Defender dates back to 1983 when it was first introduced, and the Defender is the spiritual successor of the Land Rover Series. Up for grabs is a 1986 Land Rover Defender 110 restomod completed in 2021, with some tasty upgrades.
Starting off, this particular 1986 Land Rover Defender 110 was imported from Eastern Europe, as reported by the owner. Undoubtedly, the Land Rover Defender is a rugged vehicle; as such, it espouses its ruggedness in its build and design. Moreover, the owner has upgraded the SUV's exterior with an SV6 body kit, which sees the front grille replaced with a chrome and black painted grille. It is painted in a new two-tone black on matte black. The hood has been replaced with the beefier Puma variant hood, which comes with a large hood cowl. Hood vents in silver can be seen flanking the hood. The lower end of the Defender has the standard front bumper replaced with a more off-road type unit with integrated lights. The sides feature Wolfstorm tubular rock sliders/side steps finished in a textured black powder coat. As with the front, the rear features a heavy-duty powder-coated bumper. All the lights have been replaced with LED units, and the owner has added a roof LED lightbar. The new soft top is finished in black and comes with a carbon fiber pattern interior. The seller reports that the interior is entirely new and features black with orange contrast stitching. A new center console is installed onto the new OEM Puma dashboard. A new stereo system with Bluetooth capability has also been added, along with a new custom subwoofer system under the seats. Keeping the occupants cool is a new A/C unit.
Replacing the original powertrain in this 1986 Land Rover Defender 110 restomod is a Td5 engine from a 2002 Land Rover coupled with a new ZF automatic transmission. A new 4WD LT230 transfer case is also installed to meet any off-road challenge. The seller reports that new tires are in place, and an oil change was performed recently.
In 1948, the Rover Company of Britain was gearing up for the post-war period. One of their bright ideas was to create a light, utilitarian and capable off-roader that could be used for agricultural, as well as other purposes. They were inspired by what Willys was doing with the Jeep across the pond. In fact the very first Land Rover Series prototype used a Jeep chassis and a Rover engine. The production version, of course, was Land Rover’s own design, and was called the Series I. As time passed by, it became the Series II, Series III, and gained the Defender name by 1990. Although the vehicle underwent hundreds of changes during its several decades of production, its basic shape and purpose remained true to the original. That’s why you can easily see similarities between a 1948 Series I and this 66,000-mile 1994 Land Rover Defender 110 that’s up for sale today. This six-seat vehicle is thus a great way to explore the myriad trails across America, in a vehicle that’s built for the purpose.
SUVs have changed a fair amount in the past few decades. The once rough and tough desert trailblazers that could climb mountains at a moment’s notice have gone soft. Only suited to the parking lot of the local Mall of America. However, this 1997 Land Rover Defender 110 holds true to SUVs of before. With the initial design dating back to 1948, Land Rover knew how to make a rugged workhorse that could do it all.
In 1948, the Rover Company of Britain decided to create a sturdy, simple, and capable off-roader. They christened their creation the Land Rover, inspired by America’s Willy’s Jeep. Little did they know that this would soon become a hit across the world, and a cult icon. The Land Rover soon became the Land Rover Series, as consecutive years would see it upgraded and enhanced in myriad ways, while retaining much of its iconic design and basic purpose. In 1990, Land Rover renamed the model the Defender, in keeping with its new naming conventions. Available in multiple wheelbases, the 110 is the most popular, thanks to its five-door body and approximately 110-inch wheelbase. Yes, there’s a new Defender now, but it goes without saying that a classic Defender is one of the best ways to explorer the great outdoors. That’s why we’re glad to offer this 175,000-mile 1995 Land Rover Defender for sale. The vehicle was mechanically rebuilt by Land Rover of Austria in Vienna, Austria and comes with all rebuild receipts included in the sale. The paint is covered by a warranty until March 2025, and the vehicle also has a BMIHT certificate.

There is a dedicated group of enthusiasts who swear by a Land Rover Series, or Land Rover Defender. Produced since 1948, the Land Rover Series became the Defender in late 1990, when Land Rover switched to a new naming convention for their models. While the Series underwent hundreds of updates throughout its life, including during its Defender time, the external appearance of the vehicle remains roughly similar. This 1996 Land Rover Defender 90 is no different; park it next to a 1948 Series 1 and you’ll immediately notice the similarities. But, there are several differences too. This vehicle has done just under 700 miles after undergoing a comprehensive full frame up restoration including a conversion to left-hand drive for easier driving in the United States.
SUVs have changed a fair amount in the past few decades. Many of the once rough and tough desert trailblazers capable of climbing mountains at a moment’s notice have gone soft. Only suited to the parking lot of the local Mall of America. However, this 1991 Land Rover Defender 90 holds true to SUVs of before. With the initial design dating back to 1948, Land Rover knew how to make a rugged workhorse that could do it all.
