The Land Rover Series is celebrated globally for its exceptional off-road capabilities, having been introduced in 1948 and evolving through various iterations until it adopted the Defender nameplate in 1983. The classic Defender was phased out around 2016, only for the model to be revived in 2020, maintaining the vehicle's legendary status among off-road enthusiasts. This particular 1986 Land Rover Defender 90, with its right-hand drive configuration, has been recently restored and boasts a modest 69,000 miles, making it a highly desirable piece for aficionados of the brand.
On the outside, this 1986 Land Rover Defender 90 features a new green paint job complemented by a contrasting white roof, giving it a look of readiness and agility. It has been upgraded with LED headlamps and sports a set of black alloy wheels, including the spare, all of which are equipped with new tires. Side steps facilitate easier access to the cabin, and the vehicle is further outfitted with two extra lights mounted on the front bull bar for improved visibility. Inside, the restoration continues with new seats adorned in tartan-brown, alongside new carpets, door panels, and a headliner. The steering wheel has been upgraded to a sporty wood and metal design, and a modern JL Audio system capable of Bluetooth connectivity has been installed for enhanced audio options. The vehicle also features air conditioning, a welcome addition as global temperatures rise.
Under the hood lies a robust 2.5L diesel in-line 4-cylinder engine, capable of producing 68hp. Though it's not the most powerful engine on the market, its reliability is unquestioned, ensuring that this Defender 90 can tackle any terrain. Power is delivered to all four wheels through a manual transmission and transfer case. To ensure the vehicle runs smoothly, it has received new filters, brakes, and a recent oil change, as reported by the current owner.
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.

SUVs are making a comeback. And I don’t mean the mall crawlers that misfire when they drive up a road with too many leaves, I mean proper SUVs. Dessert trailblazers that could cross countries without breaking a sweat. This 2022 Ford Bronco Hennessey VelociRaptor with just 21,000 miles is the perfect companion for such excursions. The Bronco is an icon amongst Ford enthusiasts and when they brought the name back in 2021 after a long hiatus, there were high expectations, and boy did they deliver.
