For many inhabitants of planet Earth, the humble Land Rover is one of the first forms of motorized transport they witnessed. The Series Land Rovers of old were well known for their go-anywhere abilities and were used extensively to explore lesser-traveled terrains. The Defender is a direct decendent from these original creations, and shares the rugged abilities that those cars were known for. Even today, the Land Rover Defender is employed by those who need a no-nonsense off-roader. While the United States only received a handful of Land Rover Defenders, now that the model has passed the 25-year age limited, they’re becoming a popular choice for those looking for something a little different, yet with a proven track record. Our featured 1989 Land Rover Defender 90 Cabriolet has been imported from Italy and has undergone an extensive restoration to ensure it’s ready for the rigors of regular service. Featuring many new parts, this drop-top off-roader could be yours.
The Land Rover Defender came in multiple body configurations, with the 90 series offering the shortest wheelbase. Couple that with this car's black removable soft top, and you have a fun British alternative to the two-door Jeep Wrangler. Our featured car is reported to have been restored by Defender Motorsport and features a new paint job in Bonatti Grey. It also sports a new front bumper, a custom SVX fitted grille, and the hood from a later model “Puma.” Extra protection and style are injected thanks to the diamond plates, including one for the rear bumper, while ingress and egress are assisted by the addition of a step side bar. Meanwhile, a Mantec snorkel improves the looks and adds to this Defender’s wading abilities. Finally, new LED lights are yet another functional upgrade. Inside, you’ll find black leather upholstery, custom front sports seats, and new rear seats. A new stereo system with new speakers and amplifier has been installed, as well as a 13-inch steering wheel.
The owner reports that a new 2.5-liter TD5 turbocharged diesel engine and a new R380 five-speed manual transmission have been installed under the hood. The Defender features permanent four-wheel drive, a low-range gearbox, and a center differential lock. Our featured 1989 Land Rover Defender 90 Cabriolet has recently undergone maintenance of consumables, including new filters, brake pads, bushings, and a clutch kit.

All Info As Reported By Current Owner
In 1948, Britain’s Rover Company produced its first four-wheel-drive civilian vehicle—the Series I, inspired by the American Willys-Overland Jeep. Built with an aluminum body, a box frame, and serious off-road capability, it laid the foundation for one of the most iconic 4x4 lineups in automotive history. Over the decades, the Series I evolved into the Series II, Series III, and eventually, by the early 1990s, the beloved Defender. Despite hundreds of mechanical and comfort upgrades, the Defender retained its signature utilitarian design and rugged profile. Among the various wheelbase options, the 90 (indicating a shorter wheelbase) was the most agile and off-road-focused, typically built in a two-door configuration. Today, we’re offering a very appealing 1997 Land Rover Defender 90, recently imported to the U.S. in 2024 and currently located in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. This example was refurbished under current ownership, with significant updates including a left-hand-drive conversion, a refinish in durable tan bedliner material, and the replacement of the seats, door cards, center console, and headliner. Power comes from a 2.5-liter turbodiesel inline-four paired with a five-speed manual transmission and a dual-range transfer case—ideal for tackling harsh terrain. Additional equipment includes black 16″ steel wheels, disc brakes on all four corners, an aftermarket grille, LED auxiliary lights, air conditioning, and a Kenwood CD stereo. This Defender 90 is offered by the selling dealer with service records, a clean Carfax report, and a clean Florida title.
Travelling at speed is a wonderful thing, seeing the world pass by and you in the lead can be exhilarating, however the art of off-roading is arguably the more memory-filled experience one could hope to achieve when behind the wheel. Present today is one of off roadings finest machines and takes shape with this 1992 Land Rover defender 90. With a reported 179,971 miles on the clock, this short wheelbase British legend brings to you off-roading in style.
The Land Rover Defender comes from a lineage of over 50 years of off-road excellence. The first Land Rover Series examples hit British roads in 1948, and soon made their way to nearly all countries across the globe. Throughout the years, Land Rover made hundreds of enhancements to the Series, including naming it the Defender in late 1990. Produced in several wheelbases, the 90 was the shortest variant available. While most Defender 90s are typically three-door SUVs, this particular 1993 Land Rover Defender 90 is an interesting, two-door single cab pickup truck variant. Bearing 80,000 miles to its name, this vehicle is now up for sale, and makes an excellent off-road runabout.
The car that would eventually become the Defender was first released in 1983, although the name “Defender” wasn’t used until 1990. Before that, it was simply called the 90 or 110, and they appeared roughly the same until 2016. These rugged vehicles are fun to drive on the road and are amazing off-roaders if you want them to be. This example of the 1998 Land Rover Defender 110 Td5 hasn’t seen many miles since its full frame-off restoration that was completed in 2016. Just as the term suggests, everything you can think of about this vehicle is new or rebuilt. This is an excellent way to bring a vehicle to the modern era while maintaining its classic appearance. This Defender is currently located in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, and is all set to arrive in your driveway.
With an illustrious history dating back to 1948, the Land Rover Defender – the classic one – is an iconic vehicle that is still sought after to this day. Even though there’s a new Defender out there, for those who want good old school off-roading without digital fripperies and myriad electronic systems, a classic Defender or Series is the way to go. Plus, you can really customize a classic Defender in almost any way. Just take this Mesa, Arizona-based 1997 Land Rover Defender 110 as an example. It’s been built to look like the vehicle seen in the James Bond film Spectre, from 2015. If you’re a Bond fan and a Defender fan, this vehicle is a match made in heaven for you.

The JL generation of Jeep Wrangler was introduced in 2017, and can be considered to be the spiritual successor to the classic Willys Jeep CJ that started off the whole Jeep mania in America and elsewhere around the world. Sporting many design similarities, most notably in its face, and offering excellent off-road abilities from the factory, the JL-generation Wrangler makes for a fantastic family fun and adventure vehicle. Today’s 2024 Jeep Wrangler is a bit different because it’s been extensively modified to take you almost anywhere you please to go. With just 390 miles on the clock, this blue beauty is available in Wappingers Falls, New York.
