The Land Rover Defender has always been a bit of a forbidden fruit kind of car for U.S. consumers. Despite a handful of North American-spec Defenders being offered, by and large, the classic Defender was unobtanium in the States. But that doesn’t mean you can’t sample this classic off-roading icon today. Thanks to imports opening up, you can now get your hands on European-sourced examples of the classic Defender in various flavors. Take our featured car, for example, which was imported from the Netherlands. It features a classic 3.5-liter Rover V8, an automatic transmission, and a few modern features to improve driveability.
This 1987 Land Rover Defender is of the 110 Pickup variety, where the “110” refers to the wheelbase in inches, and the pickup part is fairly self-explanatory. The Defender pickup maintains decent room for occupants with a short but useful rear bed. The owner reports that the car has been repainted in black and features several new components. These include a new front grille, new lights, new wheels, and new tires. Inside the Defender, you’ll find a new interior, featuring tan seats with a quilted leather finish. There’s a Momo steering wheel inside, along with new gauges. In the center, you’ll find a modern and newly installed Pioneer floating head unit, which features Apple CarPlay and a reverse camera.
Under the hood, you’ll find an icon of both British and American motoring — a Rover-badged 3.5-liter V8. Of course, used in multiple Rover applications, this small-block V8 originally started life as a Buick lump and was soon adapted for use by the English car manufacturer. In this application, the 3.5-liter V8 engine is a new addition and is coupled with a four-speed automatic transmission. Both the engine and gearbox are reported to have only 5,800 miles on them, which corresponds with what is displayed by the odometer. The chassis is reported to have a total of 42,000 miles on it before the engine and gearbox swap was carried out. Also new is the suspension system, while gas lines and the gas tank have also been changed.

The Land Rover Defender is an iconic British off-roader for multiple reasons. Firstly, it boasts a glorious lineage back to 1948’s Series 1, and that’s obvious for anyone to see from its design. The design is so iconic that 2020’s “New Defender” includes plenty of styling cues that pay homage to the original. But there’s so much more to a classic Defender like this 1999 Land Rover Defender 110 TD5. The vehicle packs bags of off-road capabilities, allowing you to explore America’s great wilderness with confidence. This particular vehicle has reportedly received a complete restoration, making it as fresh as one can expect from a Defender. So why not add it to your garage and enjoy the great outdoors like no other SUV can do?
The SUV segment as a whole has completely changed from what it was 20-30 years ago. This 1996 Land Rover Defender 110 shows exactly what a real SUV has to offer. Solid axles, chunky tires, and a low-range gearbox give it that Go Anywhere ability that is few and far between today's SUVs. Having been around since the 1950s, the Defender has built a name for itself and is synonymous with people who need a rugged, dependable workhorse.
Born from the rugged Land Rover Series I of 1948, what became the Defender – the classic Defender, that is, was forged over fifty years of innovation. While the exterior outlook remains distinctively Series, the Defender has grown in many ways. Don’t believe us? Check out this 1998 Land Rover Defender 110 that’s for sale right now. If you’re looking for the ultimate overlanding vehicle that can take you nearly anywhere on earth, and bring you back to your doorstep to tell amazing stories of your adventures, this is the machine to buy.

The Range Rover is a luxurious and premium large SUV with baked-in off-road capability. The Autobiography trim is a trim level which adds several sought-after items that luxury buyers will appreciate. There’s a lot on offer with this particular 2020 Land Rover Range Rover Autobiography LWB. It only has 36,700 miles on its clock and boasts the Overfinch Specification and the Limited Edition Velocity Bodystyling Package.
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.
The Chevrolet Tahoe is the Bowtie brand’s full-size SUV offering. Since 1992, the Tahoe has represented a go-anywhere sport utility vehicle that could carry the average American family across the country in comfort, dog and all. With excellent off-road credentials, the Tahoe could take the path less travelled, too. Now we’re on the fifth generation, but there are some fantastic older ones available too. Take this first-generation 1997 Chevrolet Tahoe LT as a prime example. Extensively modified, this off-road ready beast has a significant 265,000 miles on the clock but don’t let that put you off. It’s been well looked after, and in your care, can easily double or even triple that mileage without major woes.
It is apparent that an obvious recent trend in the car industry is the love for SUVs. People who have them, love them. People who don’t, want them. But perhaps SUVs of late are more suited to mall parking lots than a rough trail leading to a good fishing spot. Go back a few decades and you’ll find out what SUVs were really about. This 1987 Toyota Land Cruiser FJ60 with just 93,000 miles on the odometer is not the vehicle you choose if you want to drive over the curbs at your local mall. This thing can take you to places other cars shiver at the mere thought of.
This 2017 Ford F-150 Shelby with just 55,000 miles is not for the faint of heart. For starters, it has been breathed upon by the legendary Ford tuning house, Shelby, and has a supercharger! It's certainly one way of making one of America's most-loved trucks just that bit more special. After all, the F-150 has been the best-selling vehicle in America for multiple years in a row — it’s safe to assume that Ford knows what they’re doing. Especially given that they’ve been producing the F-series since 1948.
