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.

One of the absolute legends in off-roading circles, few machines can touch a classic Land Rover Series or Land Rover Defender today. These tough and capable machines come from a legacy that spans decades of continuous improvement. By the time the Defender name came in late 1990, the model itself had gained a fantastic reputation. Available in short wheelbase ‘90’ form as well as long wheelbase ‘110’ form and even a pickup truck variant. If you’re a Defender fan, consider buying this Florida-based 1991 Land Rover Defender 90 to own and enjoy. Sporting just 2,555 miles since an engine rebuild, this machine has previously undergone a frame-off restoration and some neat upgrades have been bestowed upon it too.
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.

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.
