Arguably one of the most recognized British car brands in the world, the Defender nameplate first appeared in 1983, and it's 67-year production run is a true testament to its success. Like the Willy's Jeep, The Defender was designed for military purposes, but quickly gained popularity for its "go anywhere, do anything" attitude. Unfortunately, the U.S banned sales of the Defender in 1997 due to safety regulations but said regulations were lifted in 2020, which meant that examples such as the one featured here could finally legally touch down on American soil. This 1994 Land Rover Defender 90 (short wheelbase) has all of its import documentation and customs approval. The vehicle has also had quite a bit of work to bring it up to modern driving standards and is currently up for sale in Florida with 155,000 miles done.
One of the most distinguishable features about the Defender is its boxy, all-aluminum bodywork. The design choice plays well into the rugged personality that this vehicle is admired for by its loyal global fan base, and this particular example has gone through a lot of care to preserve its heritage. This 1994 Land Rover Defender 90 was repainted in 2021, and now wears a slate grey and gloss black exterior paint, giving it a stealth-like appearance. The vehicle also has tinted windows, a lift kit, and a set of meaty Goodrich Mud-Terrain tires that are said to be replaced not too long ago. The interior keeps within the same trend as the outside of the vehicle, keep in mind, this SUV was meant for military purposes, and comfort options were kept to a minimum. Right off the bat, one of the most recognizable features about this vehicle is that it's right-hand drive. It may be in the U.S, but it is a British vehicle after all. The Defender has its iconic face-to-face bench-style seating in the rear that has reportedly been installed recently and looks fairly new. There's also a recently installed radio with Bluetooth and aux compatibility. It's connected to a sub too, so your music will surely sound sweet.
Under the hood of this 1994 Land Rover Defender 90 sits a torquey 2.5L Turbodiesel engine. As you might have figured out by now, these engines were celebrated for their ability to keep going regardless of the punishment received. This one has recently replaced valve cover seals, a flushed trans box, a full fluid flush on its oil and coolant system, a replaced fan clutch, a replaced coolant thermostat, as well as a recently replaced fuel tank.

There is a dedicated group of enthusiasts who swear by a Land Rover Series, or Land Rover Defender. Produced since 1948, the Land Rover Series became the Defender in late 1990, when Land Rover switched to a new naming convention for their models. While the Series underwent hundreds of updates throughout its life, including during its Defender time, the external appearance of the vehicle remains roughly similar. This 1996 Land Rover Defender 90 is no different; park it next to a 1948 Series 1 and you’ll immediately notice the similarities. But, there are several differences too. This vehicle has done just under 700 miles after undergoing a comprehensive full frame up restoration including a conversion to left-hand drive for easier driving in the United States.
SUVs have changed a fair amount in the past few decades. Many of the once rough and tough desert trailblazers capable of climbing mountains at a moment’s notice have gone soft. Only suited to the parking lot of the local Mall of America. However, this 1991 Land Rover Defender 90 holds true to SUVs of before. With the initial design dating back to 1948, Land Rover knew how to make a rugged workhorse that could do it all.

In 1948, the Rover Company of Britain was gearing up for the post-war period. One of their bright ideas was to create a light, utilitarian and capable off-roader that could be used for agricultural, as well as other purposes. They were inspired by what Willys was doing with the Jeep across the pond. In fact the very first Land Rover Series prototype used a Jeep chassis and a Rover engine. The production version, of course, was Land Rover’s own design, and was called the Series I. As time passed by, it became the Series II, Series III, and gained the Defender name by 1990. Although the vehicle underwent hundreds of changes during its several decades of production, its basic shape and purpose remained true to the original. That’s why you can easily see similarities between a 1948 Series I and this 66,000-mile 1994 Land Rover Defender 110 that’s up for sale today. This six-seat vehicle is thus a great way to explore the myriad trails across America, in a vehicle that’s built for the purpose.
