A true hero of British off-roading, the classic Land Rover Defender can directly trace its lineage all the way back to the Series I of 1948. In fact, you can trace that lineage for yourself by Googling up images of both and placing them side-by-side. Then, you’ll see that the appearance is nearly identical. However, the two aren’t that similar under the skin. Land Rover made hundreds of improvements over the years. That’s why many people who want a classic Land Rover but still prefer some modern features in a sturdy, off-road-friendly package pick a Defender. So, why not choose this plucky short-wheelbase 1987 Land Rover Defender as your off-road companion? The vehicle has traveled a healthy 167,000 miles but has also received plenty of TLC, ensuring that it stays fresh.
This particular 1987 Land Rover Defender showcases its timeless design in a variety of ways. Firstly, it's got a coat of red paint as the main highlight. Then, its canvas soft top comes in black and is reportedly new. The front grille is new, too, and the headlamps are modern LED units. In fact, it’s reported that all lighting at the front and back has been replaced. Meanwhile, the vehicle rolls on a set of new black alloy wheels with new tires wrapped around them. There’s also a new front bumper with a winch. Meanwhile, we’ve been informed that a cross-member at the back of the chassis was recently replaced. The interior of this 1987 Land Rover Defender is also said to have had its upholstery replaced with a combination of smooth and diamond-patterned leather, offering seating for up to seven people. However, the dashboard remains classic Defender, with a no-nonsense approach and only essential items present. Wind-up windows and manually operated mirrors are the order of the day, and there doesn’t appear to be a radio of any sort. It's best to bring along a Bluetooth speaker, then.
The 200Tdi engine that propels this 1987 Land Rover Defender is a turbocharged 2.5-liter turbodiesel unit that can provide reliable power whenever you need it. It’s paired with a 5-speed manual gearbox. The current owner says that the exhaust has been replaced, as has the rubber components in the suspension, plus the rear shock absorbers. The brake master pump has also been replaced.

The Land Rover Defender is one of the strangest cars in the automotive world, at least the older models are. They aren’t the most enjoyable to drive or the most comfortable carrier for passengers. Yet they are absolutely adored all around the world for their undeniable British character. The Defender is as British as warm beer, good tea, and bad teeth. Not to mention, they are mighty good off-roaders as well. What you’ll often find in the market or on roads is the Defender 110, rendering the short-wheelbase Defender 90 quite rare to come by. This 2000 Land Rover Defender 90 found its way to our inventory from St. Cloud, Florida. Having driven over 119000, this example remains well-maintained and boasts a re-upholstered interior.
Land Rover’s Defender is one of those all-time greats in off-roading nameplates. Derived from 1948’s Land Rover Series I, the Defender name came around 1990, and by then, it had evolved massively from the Series, despite a very similar exterior outlook. Furthermore, while the 110 is the most common type to find these days, there’s a certain sort of charm about the short wheelbase, two-door 90. This 1990 Land Rover Defender 90 definitely portrays that charm, with its extensive do-over that includes a repaint to factory spec and an aftermarket exhaust. The vehicle is currently up for sale in Florida having driven over 152,000 miles, but that’s nothing for a well-maintained Defender like this one. We’re told that the vehicle packs a replaced engine with just 3,500 miles on it, and that engine was refreshed before being swapped in. A recent alignment and tire balancing has also reportedly been carried out on this relatively modern classic four-by-four.
If you’re looking for a short wheelbase off-roader that’s relatively new, but not too techie at the same time, we have the perfect candidate for you right here, straight from Chattanooga, Tennessee. Check out this sub 30,000-mile 2010 Land Rover Defender 90! Coming from the original Defender series that was made until 2016, this machine has heritage that dates back to Land Rover’s Series I of 1948. Yet, it’s also got a newer powertrain and enjoys some further aftermarket upgrades too. This 2010 Land Rover Defender 90 combines legendary off-road capability with custom rugged aesthetics. Built in Solihull, UK, it features the reliable 2.4L turbocharged diesel inline-four from the Puma TDCi era, mated to a 6-speed manual transmission and a full-time 4WD system. Outfitted for adventure, this short-wheelbase Defender is a proper overland rig with purposeful mods, yet retains the iconic boxy profile that has defined the Defender legacy.
Debuting in 1969, the Range Rover was made by Land Rover as a vehicle that would slot in above their Land Rover Series model, in terms of size, as well as luxury. It proved to be a strong seller, and continues to this day, having spawned some sub-derivatives like the Range Rover Sport and Range Rover Velar too. Hence, for those seeking an iconic British luxury four-by-four, a regular Range Rover is a great choice. Today’s 2017 Range Rover SV Autobiography LWB is a Cornelius-based fourth generation variant with only under 37,000 miles on the clock. It’s got a powerful supercharged V8 under the hood, a panoramic sliding glass roof, and comes in long wheelbase variant for extra interior space. Hence, it’s a superbly spacious luxury SUV for a family that only needs four seats.
The definitive old-school off-roader for many folks, Land Rover’s Defender (the OG one, not the New Defender of 2019) remains the default choice. With a rich history dating back to 1948’s Land Rover Series 1, the Defender name came about in late 1990, after decades of incremental improvement and countless updates. That’s why we’re sure this 1997 Land Rover Defender 110 won’t have any trouble finding a new home. Currently stabled in Roswell, Georgia, it’s got 96,000 miles on the clock, is a Heritage Trust Certified example that’s been fully restored, and even comes in numbers-matching status! Plus it’s got some modern upgrades here and there, we’re told. You’ll also be very glad to see that it’s left-hand drive, making it easier to handle on our roads than some of the direct British imports that come with the steering wheel on the right-hand side!

The off-roading world mourned when Ford announced the discontinuation of their beloved Bronco in 1996. This was after its fifth generation, and no one thought there would be a sixth. However, it was reintroduced in 2020 amidst the ovation of off-roading enthusiasts. Bearing styling and technology of the modern world, the Bronco stays true to its essence, a rugged off-roading machine. This 2022 Ford Bronco Outer Banks 4x4 is a great example that comes to you with a few optional packages. Reports reveal that it has under 40,000 miles on its odometer, and it awaits its new buyer in Tecumseh, Michigan.

So, if you want a family-friendly truck that can take you further than where the tarmac ends, this is one fine option to consider.
