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.

It’s an extensive build that’s done just 2,205 miles so far, and packs some tasty goodies such as a 6.2-liter LT1, a 6-speed autobox, Italian Nappa leather interior, all-weather black mats and more.

Land Rover introduced the Series I off-roader was introduced in 1948, as Rover knew that, like Jeep over in the USA, with World War II finished, they needed to switch priorities and serve the civilian market. The Land Rover Series I holds the designation of being the world’s first mass-produced four-wheel drive vehicle with doors and solid roof. Over time, the Series I became the Series II then Series III, before gaining the Defender name in late 1990, in keeping with Land Rover’s new naming convention. The Defender came in 90,110 and 130 forms, which roughly referred to its wheelbase. Here, we have a 1997 Land Rover Defender 110 County Edition which is a five-door station wagon variant. You can see by its right-hand drive layout that it’s likely a UK import. With only over 16,000 miles to its name, the vehicle currently resides in Houston, Texas, but is basically at home anywhere in the country – especially where there are no tarmac roads. After all, it’s meant to go off-roading and overlanding!
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!

Land Rover, that iconic British automaker who gave us the OG Defender way back in 1948, has only risen from strength to strength.
