The Defender nameplate officially appeared on a Land Rover in 1983, but by that time it was just a re-naming of the hugely popular and capable Land Rover Series of off-roaders. In production until 2012, with the new variant entering the market in 2020, the original Defender has a cult following all over the world, and is renowned for its legendary off-road prowess and go-anywhere attitude. Finding a pristine Defender is surprisingly hard since owners know what they have and aren’t likely to easily part with them. If you’re looking for one, this 1993 Land Rover Defender 110 RHD could fit the bill to a tee. It’s a right-hand-drive example with a healthy 146,000 miles done since new, but that’s nothing for a well-maintained Defender as this appears to be.
The original Defender’s design changed very little over its production run. Why mess with something that works well? This 1993 Land Rover Defender 110 RHD showcases that utilitarian and no-nonsense silhouette in a fitting green paintwork, rolling on black wheels wrapped in reportedly new 30-inch Renegade tires. A new Frontrunner slimline roof rack augments the cargo carrying capacity, accessed by a Frontrunner ladder, and a set of 6-inch KC LED lights at the front of the roof rack enhance nighttime driving experiences. There’s under-cover storage on offer as well. Venture aboard, and it’s quickly apparent that a Defender is not meant to be a luxury vehicle that cossets you in leather and fine finishes, but something that can take a rough-and-tumble life, which the gray interior on this car is testament to. Nevertheless, you do get rubber carpets, gray cloth seats, reportedly new air conditioning unit and a touchscreen Kenwood head unit. The interior appears to be in good nick, save for some light surface rust that can easily be addressed.
This 1993 Land Rover Defender 110 RHD is powered by the sturdy 200Tdi 2.5L turbocharged in-line four-cylinder diesel engine. It was rated at 109hp and 188lb-ft when new, and sends drive to all four wheels via a LT77S five-speed manual transmission and two speed high/low transfer case with locking center differential. There’s a new gas tank and radiator reported, and it’s said to have undergone a recent service.

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.

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.
