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.
The original Land Rover Defender may have sold well in the US, but — bar a very limited number — it was not officially offered to stateside consumers. But now that we’re seeing specialists and fans import some of these iconic off-roaders to our shore, it may just be the best time to find out what makes the Defender so unique. Our featured 1998 Land Rover Defender 110 Td5 has undergone a full restoration. The owner reports that the frame has been sandblasted, repainted, and sealed, with the full frame-off restoration having been completed in 2016. The engine has been rebuilt, too, and a whole host of other parts have been replaced to ensure the reliable running of this 4x4 for many years to come.
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.
