Land Rover’s classic Defender is one of the most well-known off-roaders on the planet. Dating back to the Land Rover Series 1 of 1948, the Defender has decades of experience and improvement behind it. Strictly speaking, this particular 1988 Land Rover Defender 110 Restoration can’t be called a Defender because the Defender name officially came in 1990. But it’s got so many new parts and enhancements, not to mention its pedigree, that it deserves the tag. The vehicle was imported from Great Britain and has undergone a full restoration by Defender Motorsport. So, if you’re looking for a Defender with several twists, this is the one for you.
This 1988 Land Rover Defender 110 Restoration comes to you in a lovely shade of red, but that’s just one of many factors vying for your attention. For starters, you’ll definitely notice its black Lucari wheels that wear new Goodyear Wrangler tires. Then, you’ll see its LED headlamps and gaze at its black roof rack. And then, you’ll open a door and enter its red-themed interior. The interior features a Dakota Digital dashboard, a Lokar shifter, and a new air conditioning unit, for starters. It can seat up to five adults on soft leather seats, and you’ll note that there’s a center console with cup holders for front-seat occupants to use. If you really need more seating, there are two facing benches in the rear luggage area. We’ve also got a touchscreen infotainment system and some upgraded speakers.
This 1988 Land Rover Defender 110 Restoration features a new L83 5.3L small-block V8 with less than 500 miles on it. The engine is paired with a GM 8L90E 8-speed automatic transmission and a new Nassau driveshaft to drive all four wheels. Then, we’ve got a Winner Racing 70mm radiator, Painless Performance fuel injection, RW Performance engine mount and transmission adapter, MSD 8.5mm superconductor spark plugs, and a K&N universal performance air filter. Meanwhile, the V8 sounds fantastic, thanks to the new Hooker LS exhaust system with Magnaflow smooth transition mandrel bends, and Summit Racing carbon fiber tips. Elsewhere, we’ve got a Detroit Speed power steering pump, a Walbro high-pressure fuel pump, and Terrafirma shock absorbers. There’s plenty more, so give us a call to hear all about it.

In 1948, the Rover Company of Britain was gearing up for the post-war period. One of their bright ideas was to create a light, utilitarian and capable off-roader that could be used for agricultural, as well as other purposes. They were inspired by what Willys was doing with the Jeep across the pond. In fact the very first Land Rover Series prototype used a Jeep chassis and a Rover engine. The production version, of course, was Land Rover’s own design, and was called the Series I. As time passed by, it became the Series II, Series III, and gained the Defender name by 1990. Although the vehicle underwent hundreds of changes during its several decades of production, its basic shape and purpose remained true to the original. That’s why you can easily see similarities between a 1948 Series I and this 66,000-mile 1994 Land Rover Defender 110 that’s up for sale today. This six-seat vehicle is thus a great way to explore the myriad trails across America, in a vehicle that’s built for the purpose.
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.

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.

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.
