When you think of venturing into the great outdoors and negotiating treacherous conditions, the Land Rover brand comes to mind. With decades of experience at churning out machines that can take on the toughest of conditions, vehicles like the Defender already have their names on the books of automotive history. Venture into the great outdoors in confidence with this lovely 1990 Land Rover Defender 90 we have today; it has a reported 45,000 original miles, and tasteful modifications to make it stand out.
Over the years, the humble Land Rover defender has been referred to by many names; regardless of how you identify them, the boxy design from the early 80s has hardly changed and is forever timeless. This 1990 Land Rover Defender 90 sports a unique gray exterior that sees tasteful modifications done to make it stand out. Upgrades start with the Puma-style hood, snorkel intake, and custom LED headlights with metal headlight guards at the front showcasing its off-road prowess. The body of this Defender is made sportier with the color-matched fender flares; speaking of color, matching the black custom soft top makes for a driving experience like no other and even matches the Land Rover spare wheel cover at the rear of the vehicle. In terms of shoes, this Defender sits proudly on a set of Land Rover wheels from a later generation finished off in black. While it may be a rough and rugged off-roader, the black interior of this 1990 Land Rover Defender 90 boasts comfort and is the perfect place to be when negotiating tough off-road challenges. The custom leather seats hold you in place, and the Sparco seatbelts at the front account for added safety. At the rear, you have folding seats with seatbelts to carry more passengers; the seller reports that this Defender can ferry around seven passengers.
The change in the name wasn't the only thing automotive journalists wrote about in the early 90s. The Land Rover Defender now sported three bigger V8 engine trims that boasted performance and that V8 grunt. Powering this 1990 Land Rover Defender 90 is a 3.9L Rover-derived V8 powertrain that is reported to be the original engine for this vehicle. A manual transmission sends power to all four wheels in true Land Rover fashion.

The Land Rover Defender is a British icon that has been offered since 1983. This 1998 model has undergone a full frame-off restoration which was completed in 2024, as reported by the current owner. Retaining its original engine with less than 56,000 miles, this Land Rover Defender 90 has been upgraded with air conditioning and an array of new mechanical parts, ready to take off on its new adventures.
The Land Rover Series is celebrated globally for its exceptional off-road capabilities, having been introduced in 1948 and evolving through various iterations until it adopted the Defender nameplate in 1983. The classic Defender was phased out around 2016, only for the model to be revived in 2020, maintaining the vehicle's legendary status among off-road enthusiasts. This particular 1986 Land Rover Defender 90, with its right-hand drive configuration, has been recently restored and boasts a modest 69,000 miles, making it a highly desirable piece for aficionados of the brand.
The Land Rover Defender has a long and colorful history, dating back to the original Land Rover Series of 1948. World War II was over, and the British public was clamoring for a utilitarian off-roader that could help them in the farms and fields. Land Rover delivered a stunner that, to this day, is considered one of the all-time greats of off-roaders. Hence, this 1998 Land Rover Defender 90 Convertible comes from great parentage and, itself, is a stunner. Showcasing a healthy 86,000 miles, this plucky Brit is ready to double or even quadruple that mileage with the right care.

The Land Rover Defender has always been a bit of a forbidden fruit kind of car for U.S. consumers. Despite a handful of North American-spec Defenders being offered, by and large, the classic Defender was unobtanium in the States. But that doesn’t mean you can’t sample this classic off-roading icon today. Thanks to imports opening up, you can now get your hands on European-sourced examples of the classic Defender in various flavors. Take our featured car, for example, which was imported from the Netherlands. It features a classic 3.5-liter Rover V8, an automatic transmission, and a few modern features to improve driveability.
The Land Rover Defender can trace its origins way back to the Series I of 1948. When the war was over, Rover created the Series I as a plucky and capable off-roader for the public, inspired by the Willys Jeep. The Series I became the Series II, then the Series III (and there were some derivatives of each), until it gained the name Defender in late 1990. Park a Defender next to a Series I, and you'll see just how similar the vehicles are. Despite that, Land Rover made hundreds of updates to the vehicle during its long production run. If you've always had your eye on one of these iconic and vastly capable vehicles, this 1995 Land Rover Defender 110 is up for sale with us right now. Reportedly a 1996 model year machine, it's got just 70,000 miles on the odometer and some tasteful upgrades to make it more livable as a daily runner - if you choose.
