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. Let’s discover more about why this vehicle deserves a spot in your life, especially if you love adventuring around the country in places where roads don’t exist.
Showcasing its squarish dimensions and high-riding stance, this 1988 Land Rover Defender 90 features a simple white paint job, punctuated by some interesting light blue accents. The vehicle rides tall on its 16-inch white-finished steel wheels and features a full-size spare wheel mounted at the rear. There are side steps to aid access and exit from the vehicle, while a roof rack adds more cargo capacity which is important if you’re planning on taking the vehicle into camping territory. A front brush guard with auxiliary lights is also present. The inside of this 1988 Land Rover Defender 90 features three-abreast seating and a cargo divider. There’s a cabin heater for use on chilly days, but little else to distract or add complexity to what is a very utilitarian and simplistic off-roader that’s supposed to be easy to mend if it goes wrong when hundreds of miles from civilization.
The 2.5-liter in-line 4-cylinder turbodiesel engine that powers this 1988 Land Rover Defender 90 is a stout unit, capable of delivering healthy torque all day. Aided by a five-speed manual transmission and two-speed transfer case, this vehicle’s four-wheel drive system with center locking differential can take you wherever you wish to drive. In fact, its weakest link will typically be the driver. Front disc brakes are present as well, for enhanced stopping power.
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.
Land Rover’s Defender is one of those all-time greats in off-roading nameplates. Derived from 1948’s Land Rover Series I, the Defender name came around 1990, and by then, it had evolved massively from the Series, despite a very similar exterior outlook. Furthermore, while the 110 is the most common type to find these days, there’s a certain sort of charm about the short wheelbase, two-door 90. This 1990 Land Rover Defender 90 definitely portrays that charm, with its extensive do-over that includes a repaint to factory spec and an aftermarket exhaust. The vehicle is currently up for sale in Florida having driven over 152,000 miles, but that’s nothing for a well-maintained Defender like this one. We’re told that the vehicle packs a replaced engine with just 3,500 miles on it, and that engine was refreshed before being swapped in. A recent alignment and tire balancing has also reportedly been carried out on this relatively modern classic four-by-four.

Debuting in 1969, the Range Rover was made by Land Rover as a vehicle that would slot in above their Land Rover Series model, in terms of size, as well as luxury. It proved to be a strong seller, and continues to this day, having spawned some sub-derivatives like the Range Rover Sport and Range Rover Velar too. Hence, for those seeking an iconic British luxury four-by-four, a regular Range Rover is a great choice. Today’s 2017 Range Rover SV Autobiography LWB is a Cornelius-based fourth generation variant with only 37,000 miles on the clock.

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.

A brand born out of a request by Arnold Schwarzenegger. That’s perhaps how one could sum up Hummer. It all started around 1992 when Arnie suggested that AM General make a civilian variant of their tough and versatile military Humvee. Of course, when The Terminator makes a request, one considers it very carefully since refusal could be a rather ticklish affair. So, AM General created the Hummer brand and the H1 was the first product. However, the H1 was so massive that come the Two Thousands, AM General knew that they needed something a little more urban-friendly. Hence, the H2 of 2002, which was made until 2009. The H2 is relatively smaller than the H1, but still sits in the full-size segment. Over 153,000 were made, and we have one here today. This 2003 Hummer H2 has done 93,000 miles and comes to you from Cleveland. It’s got a 6.0-liter V8 and wheat leather upholstery. Oh, and it’s also got that impressive off-road capability that every H2 is renowned for.
