Land Rover’s classic Defender is widely recognized as one of the most capable and comprehensive off-road machines of modern times. But it’s a model with innovation and continuous improvement that stretches well into classic vehicle times. The first of the series was called, well, the Land Rover Series 1 and it was introduced in 1948. Series II and Series III followed over the decades, and the Defender name came in late 1990, in response to Land Rover switching to names after the Discovery. Today, we have a short wheelbase 1988 Land Rover Defender 90 from Maple Valley, Washington for sale. With a healthy 176,000 miles done so far, it’s got plenty more to give.
