Known as the ‘go everywhere vehicle,’ the Land Rover Defender is one of the most utilitarian and iconic vehicles in the world’s automotive history and continues to remain a relevant name today. However, much has changed since the Series 1 left the factories in the Fifties. Modern Land Rovers come equipped with all sorts of electronic driver assist systems to make traversal in rough terrain efficient, quick, and convenient. But for those who want a more ‘raw experience’ to truly connect with the vehicle and conquer the elements, this 1986 Land Rover Defender 90 is a great choice. Reportedly sporting a number of amenities and upgrades, this ‘Landie’ gives both the tactile experience of a classic Land Rover and a range of modern conveniences and luxuries. Not only that, it also is right hand drive, just the way the British designed the Land Rover to be.
Circling around, the silver paint immediately catches your eye, glinting in the sun. The Puma hood and fender flares bring an aggressive look to the Land Rover. Reportedly sporting a 1” lift kit, it is tastefully elevated to complement the upgrades. Of course, that’s not all. Stepping inside, the dashboard is the typical utilitarian aesthetic you would expect of a Land Rover, reportedly a 2010 TD5 one to be exact. Additionally, there are a few other creature comforts added. For example, the added customized touchscreen operated stereo system supports Apple CarPlay for added functionality and multimedia. Of course, with the custom mounted marine speakers and custom subwoofer behind the driver’s seat there’s nothing stopping you from blasting your favorite tunes on the highway or while conquering the wilderness. With the windows tinted, you won’t have to worry about the glare from the sun either.
Reportedly, this Land Rover came with a 200Tdi engine from the factory, but was swapped for the 300Tdi, which is said to be smoother and quieter than the 200. It also reportedly comes with a few other upgrades, including a new fan and a new clutch master cylinder. Power is delivered to the wheels using a 5 speed manual transmission, and with the seller reporting of recently installed rear brake calipers, should provide ample stopping power too.

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.

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.
