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.

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!
There are many motor vehicles that have been described as legendary. So many, in fact, that the word has lost much of its meaning. While there have been many interesting machines introduced in the last 100 years, only a relative handful truly deserve this accolade. One of the few that does is the English Land Rover. This amazing 4x4 wagon, the first of its kind, is instantly recognized wherever it appears. In fact, it is the first motor vehicle ever seen by a quarter of the world's population. While its look has hardly changed since 1948, the vehicle that the world knows as a Land Rover has come a long way. The Land Rover Defender has a production window of over 60 years, starting with the original series 1. This example of the 1986 Land Rover Defender 110 has covered 14,707 miles and is currently located in Westport, Connecticut.
The Land Rover Defender is probably one of a handful of proper four-by-fours. Forget low profile tires, myriad digital screens and electronics that will throw a fit if a little bit of mud gets splashed on them; the Defender can keep moving even if its caked in mud and tossed around in dirt. Building on the fantastic Series 1 of 1948, the Defender name came about in late 1990, and since then, has been revered by those who want no-nonsense off-road abilities. Of course, vehicles like this 1989 Land Rover Defender 110 from Waxhaw, North Carolina do have some nice features such as Exmoor high-back diamond-stitched leather seats and an aftermarket V8, but this one also enjoys a 4-inch lift kit and Fox Racing shocks, on top of many other things. If you’d like to make this vehicle yours, talk to us right now.

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.

The Jeep Wrangler is one of just two vehicles available today that allow you to remove the doors and roof for the ultimate open-air experience. You can imagine the engineering that goes into enabling such a feat, and most manufacturers simply don’t bother. But Jeep can’t do that, and you know why? Because since the mid-1940s, they’ve been outfitting enterprising Americans with tough, go-anywhere, do-anything off-roaders. The Wrangler, in fact, can directly trace its lineage to the Jeep CJ series. Today’s 2019 Jeep Wrangler comes from the current JL series and packs a punchy Pentastar V6 under its rather sizable hood. That’s not all, with its automatic gearbox, Fox Racing steering stabilizer and 10,000-pound Warn winch, it’s ready to hit the trails with gusto. Oh, and it can also be your faithful, dependable and comfortable family cruiser too. If you want to get your hands on this sub 50,000-mile machine from Delta, Colorado, talk to us right now.
